[QUOTE="Elf, post: 58632, member: 13103"] Monkey, Thanks for your reply, you're right when you say my TV card has no hardware encoder - it's a pure DVB and my understanding is that hardware encode is not necessary for a DVB signal because the signal is in MPEG2 format already (?). (Your Lifeview Duo has an analogue as well as a digital tuner, the hardware encoder will be for the analogue stream.) The hardware decode I'm referring to is the opposite way round - the turning of the MPEG stream back into images so I can watch the TV! This should be performed, or at least assisted by my nVidia graphics card to take the stress off the CPU. [/QUOTE]
