But how does controlling the STB work? I looked at the TV section and it was not clear how you set up to change channels. I have a TIRA2 Rx/Tx IR box, so I need to make it send "Go to channel 602" before I start recording from the S-Video input port. I have not got a video capture cart, but that's on the list. Is there...

Stranger and strangerer, while I was waiting i deceided to have a fiddle with stuff. I thought perhaps register means I have to make sure the invisible gnomes that live in my PC know how to work the Lifeview cap device. So I started the lifeview software for the first time, went through initial set up and then, closed the lifeview...

Any card with SPDIF will pass Dolby Digital or DTS, but apart from that everything else will be in stereo. So anything except DVB TV (if broadcast in DD) and dvds will be in 2 channel stereo. If you want proper 5.1 for every source, youll want a proper DDL encoder card. There are a few out now so there is a small range to choose from.

I think it's both: First, copying the AC3 pid to the audio field. Then, record a bit of AC3 TV, open and play the dvr-ms file with Graphedit and verify that if you use the Default Wave Out Device you get AC3 sound. Then you have to tell MP to use the Default Wave Out Device for TV. As mentioned earlier I'm not really sure how I...

I think the N6200 is more value for today's machines... the fx5200 is an older model, cheap though but the N6200 isn;t that much more expensive. The N6200 will (not fully) support the use of the PureVideo decoder from nvidia which takes some work of the CPU and pass it on to the GPU; meaning less CPU power needed.
