My HP media centre PC currently has a freeview card in it with which I can watch all the freeview terrestrial channels.
I can even record TV1 while watching TV2 with the single tuner.... Awesome....
Except that I can't do the same with TV3 as apparently it's on a different frequency or something? Maybe someone could explain...

Hi
I guess it depends if they are talking about the programmes or data.
The quote on the link mentions Freesat services and data which could mean the interactive part of the specification. This would be equivalent to MHEG5 for Freeview which the Hauppauge cards do not include software to do at present.
Also, I would guess...

Thanks for the tip, Sprag! I found this offer of a half-height (low profile) version from Digitec. The main thing that worries me is the size of the heatsink.
1) It might not fit in my Scaleo E
2) Even if it does, it may run too hot.
I had to put my Scaleo E on top of my hi-fi cabinet instead of on a shelf because it got too hot...

The original DFI nf4 chipset cooler sucks. I changed that bastard a year ago and my ears are happier than ever.
The HR-05 is a very nice chipset cooler, but it can be really hard to mount with a bigger gfx card. I had to bend mine quiet a bit in order to get it done. :D

- Some people don't good enough display device for HD material. Even...

Or just extract the VIDEO_TS folder - should be a bit quicker, and works really well with MP's player. I've been doing this, even when I've got an ISO image as my system really doesn't like Daemon Tools. Hard drive space will run you a bit less than $1 per DVD, assuming you use 500 GB drives.

I saw it can have a resolution of 1920x1200.
So I thought just set the touchscreen as a clone of your primary screen and MP will work without the plugin.

I'm no expert on scripts but it looks fine to me. Especially as everything is coming in as expected (?).
As for msconfig, I don't think those things kick in at all because your not running explorer and those things come in with explorer. Correct me if i'm wrong, I'm no expert.
