Does anyone know much about tv tuner cards? Recently got a sd stb from p.i.l. for xmas and am loving it so far. Our analogue reception was pretty bad after the recent storms (read: unwatchable) so it's like a whole new world for us.
I've noticed that some are pretty cheap these days. Having both our computers in our lounge/dining it wouldn't be too hard for us to hook everything up together so we could record to the hd and watch on tv. Anyways, I don't know much about them and certainly don't know what's good, what features to look for.
I've read that some do p.i.p. so would that also mean we could watch one channel while taping another. Am I going down the wrong track with this idea.
In the long run I would see us having a dual tuner hdpvr, but they are still expensive. And while we still have the computers in the same area as our lounge could this be the cheaper way to go for now?
It's not something we're planning on doing tomorrow, or next month - but it may come down the track, especially when we upgrade the 'puter again.
