Hi Folks...!
I'm going to be moving from the UK to NZ soon and have shipped my XP Windows MCE box across. I had hoped that the Hauppauge Nova-T 500 Dual tuner DVB-T card I used in the UK would work, but the more I look into things I've realised that this is now not going to work.
My partner is already in NZ (New Plymouth) and we have Sky.
What would be the best option for a tuner card. I only have 1 PCI slot free in the case (slimline) but would like the ability to watch and record different channels, either dual tuner or single tuner with capture from the Sky box.
As the TV standards and available technology is quite different from what I'm used to, I'm looking for some advice please!
If I get a DVB-S card, can I only watch Free-To-Air channels?
What's the best card for DVB-S and Windows MCE?
Is it worth waiting for DVB-T to be rolled out? (In the UK we have around 40 FTA Freeview channels, is NZ going to have as many?)
How well does Sky work with a capture card and a remote "eye" to change the Sky reciever? Worthwhile?
I'm really sorry for all the questions! I'm sure there's plenty expertise out there, and much of the NZ Television technology is new to me!
Thanks everyone!
Graeme
