Hi everyone,
I am 3 weeks away from returning to the Uk after a 6 year stint in the USA and am looking for information on peoples set ups.
My plan is just to run it on the one tv - i never got into the tv server thing! it took me long enough to get the basics set up....lol!
So i would like to know what type of capture cards people are using, cable providers, set top box brands and of course if there were any problems with their choices and MP.
Also because i have been away for so long how does it work with your channels, the cable cards and the STB outlets. Are all the regular channels able to be recieved without the box (only need it for the premium ones??) or do you have to run an outgoing cable from the box to your card?
I read some posts about guys using CI modules and some other stuff to be able to record HD, that sounds interesting but may be too complex for me to get my head round at first.
Are there any over the air free HD channels? They just started that in the states before we left.
I don't know who will be our cable provider yet so i am just trying to get some info on the prospective set up.
thanks in advance.
