Hi all - i am trying to set up a PC that receives FreeviewHD and view it on my 720p only- HDTV. Assuming that i have an aerial, a capable CPU, and video card ya, and am running Vista Ultimate x64 -
this is my plan - does anyone know/think if it will work.
i must first mention i do NOT plan to watch dvb-s or analog tv, ONLY dvb-t
1) would you buy
nova 500 t - twin dig tuners :), not a pci-e :(, no mpeg2 hardware encoder :(
hvr 1700 - has hardware mpeg2 encoder :) but only 1 digital tuner :(
hvr 2200 - twin dig tuners :) mpeg2 hardware encoder :), no remote - ultimate no no for me
is either card known to be superior in terms of performance and compatibilty alone?
2) does dvbviewer do 720p?
3) even better set it up to run under Vista MCE (i believe these guys here are attempting the feat? http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=83&topicid=18907).
4) my only other question is - will i be able to watch tv3 as it's broadcast in 1080i? will my computer just downcovert to 720p or is it not as simple as that?
sorry i'm so lost! wanted to just get a stb but so expensive! if not possible then may just have to wait huh ...
thanks everyone!
