Hi,

I have checked on the approved list
http://www.team-mediaportal.com/doku.../start?do=show

Both show up as supported, but i beleive these are software based decoding, so put more strain on PC?

I have semperon 2200 cpu with 768Mb of ram. Is this powerful enough?

I was looking for a hardware based decoder and hopefully USB, but couldnt seem to find one? any suggestions welcome!

Regards

Gary

I'm not fully sure, but I understood the software/hardware decoder items was for analog only. Digital tuners recieve a MPEG stream of some sorts anyway, so no probs there.
