DVB-C / Analog and recording

sirKus · 2006-02-04, 20:45

Hello, i have 2 questions :

1) Is it possible to have 1 analog and 1 digital (DVB-C) card in one computer and how can MP know which card to use. In other words, can i scan all the digital channels with the digital card, and all the analog channels with analog card. And "merge" digital and analog channels in MP channels database? Or is it a more simple way...or no way? (I know Hauppage is selling DVB-C/Analog card (not MCE compatible), but i want to keep the Windows MCE compatibility)

2) As i understand, with a digital card, the flow is...digital, so there is no need for a digital hard/soft encoder for recording. The flow goes directly to the drive in mpeg2 or mpeg4 format?

Thanks...MP is great...

I think the answer for question 1) is the MP option "Map channels to TV card" menu from the "TV Cards" tab of the Television/TV Channels section. Isn'it?
