[QUOTE="Roberdin, post: 96775, member: 17517"] Thanks Jake. There should be no problems with the DVB-T cards and HD then; just a case of being able to decode it fast enough on the computer itself - 1080p H.264 @ ~ 18MBit/s (BBC HD) takes some work for the old CPU. So it sounds like integrating support for this into the TV server/client should not be problematic. On to problem two :P : does anyone know a reliable way to boost DVB-T reception? I have already got a new aerial and wiring fitted, and I therefore receive excellent signal on all muxes, except for BBC HD1. This is clearly due to the low power output at the transmitter... but there is surely a (fairly) cheap way for me to boost my signal without moving house? Maplin sells a [url=http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=36576&criteria=booster&doy=12m12]Digital TV signal booster[/url]: but I've had some poor experience with signal boosters. Does anyone have any idea how reliable/good these things are? [/QUOTE]
