Hi,
Wanted something I could:
* Watch regular cable with (coax)
* Connect a Wii to and get the best resolution for it on my monitor
* Watch HDTV cable with (if I get it in the future)
1 and 2 are priorities, 3 is optional.
I would like the card to be PCIe.
I have tried searching for these terms but I'm not understanding...

Card Dimensions
How big is the card? I've got plenty of room length wise (about 300mm) but my PC is only 95mm wide... Is the card a "standard" half-height/low-profile card?
If anyone out there has one if these cards I'd really appreciate it if you could take a look at the attached image and provide me the measurements...

Hi
I'm using the Technotrend Budget S1500 DVB-S + CI/CAM for watching Canal Digital in Finland. I have the GeForce 6600 GT videocard, and an ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard. System almost works great except for one thing.
Viewing the FTA channels is great, ZAPping takes about 0.5 seconds. When I ZAP to any encoded channels...

I've just been setting up MP, in Finland, and using Canal Digital as well with the Conax CI/CAM. Plugged in my yellow smart card and it works...eventually. When zapping, all FTA channels zap in about 0.5 second, all the Conax channels take about 9 seconds.
Do you think that this is related to smart card :S

I have a Hauppauge Win TV PVR-500, which is just a dual 150, and have found that the picture is ok (meaning not great). I like to watch sports and unfortunately (I don’t know if it is the card or the rest of the computer) sports do not look good at all. I have not tested the other cards but thought that I would just mention this to...

You'll have to run the cable box through the PVR 150 and use a blaster to change the cable box channels if you want anything other than "basic cable."
If you want to go the blaster/cable box through tv card route, there are many posts on setting up set top boxes in Media Portal.

I'm using MPV. I think that a P4 3.2 should be enough for analog tv (while a P4 2.0GHz is certainly slower than a 2.2GHz athlon xp, so it doesn't surprise me that the cpu usage is 100%).

I have a FireDTV-S Floppy and can vouch for it under mediaportal. It's not a dual receiver, don't now of any that are. You can use it with a CAM (I have a T-Rex for Sky UK).

Hi,
I have the same card and am quite impressed with the video quality. However it was a bit rubbish until i went in to the graphics card settings ('Catalyst' for the Sapphire Radeon cards) and checked the box under Video settings that says 'Let the Application Decide'.
What happens now is when i start MP, the screen goes black...

Depends on what hardware you have got atm. All the current DVB-S2 cards out there are using software decoding and thus you will most probably need a dual core cpu. I just read about a dual tuner -S2 card from Micronas (http://www.micronas.com/pressroom/press_releases/articles/0616/index.html?back=%2Fhome%2Findex.html) which can be...

I was looking at some Freecom tuners, but none of them seem to be supported by MP:(

Hi,
If you only have one LNB the TwinhanDTV Sat-CI (Model 1030) could be an option. If you need DiSEqC support (for multiple LNB's) then the FireDTV-S or FloppyDTV-S from Digital Everywhere is your best bet. the Twinhan is a PCI card, while the Digital Everywhere solutions are firewire.
Then there's also TechnoTrend premium as an...

The difference would be negligible, they are both low quality inputs.
You wont be able to as this method can only be used for attaching other devices such as set top boxes.

Could the poor image quality be due to my graphics card? it is a 6600 geforce. having read the many posts here, i do believe this card is good enough.
another issue is i have to set my windows resolution to 1024x768 in order to get a full screen display in media portal. when i set the resolution to be higher than 1024, the picture...

Those 3 cards cater for different needs, just work out what you do need and choose accordingly.
Im pretty sure the Hauppauge remotes are supported so you could give it a try and see how it goes. If its not good enough get a MCE one later on.

I went with all Hauppauge for my box and havent been disappointed. Baring in mind that they do have their price premium, their driver support is second to none. The supplied application like other cards is garbage (more so then other brands I think).

I belive the PVR-500 is the best you can get... sarch for reviews - Hauppauge wins 'em al... PVR-500 is just like 2xPVR-150, I belive.

In terms of supporting 1080i, any nvidia card with HDTV out should. Do you want it via component or DVI? Ive got a screen here running 1920x1200 here off DVI fine and custom resolutions are no problems. Ive also got 6200 in my MP box which does 1080i according to the drivers (havent tried it yet).
