[QUOTE="cokie69, post: 179260, member: 56214"] Thanks guys, You're right... my wording must be wrong. Afterall, I am not to versed on this technology (just yet!). Thanks for clarifying. I am not too interested as of today in a card with HDTV (1080p) capabilities cause (a.) over here there's yet no station broadcasting that quality -and I believe it'll continue like this at least until 2010 (analog off) and (b.) I'm not that fuzzy with that... I am quite happy with current DBV image definition -furthermore, my LCD is only 32", not too big to really appreciate the enhancement of HDTV. Regarding the nbr of cards... I've got a small problem: I want to install this in a barebone which doesn't have more than 1 free PCI left so I should find a combined solution. I've seen this card, [URL="http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/pages/products/data_hvr4000.html"]Hauppauge Win-TV HVR-4000[/URL], which claims to have DBV-T, DBV-S, DBV-S2 and analogue cable TV in one single card. It's a bit pricey but I still can afford it. Would you recommend this one?, is it compatible with MP?. Or else, which other card(s) -similar to the above mentioned- would you recommend? Thanks.
