[QUOTE="David Abineri, post: 769011, member: 114452"] Thanks, mm, this is very illuminating and sorts out many of the issues I was having as I try to read up on this PC DVR issue. Are there no capture cards that capture 1080p? It would seem logical that someone would have done this by now. Out or curiosity, after the satellite STB tunes the signal and sends it out to the capture card (or the TV), is it encoded for protection in any way at that point? Finally, am I correct that in order to build a PC DVR I need a capture card, PC with sufficient speed and memory, video card with sufficient memory, a large enough power supply to power it all and a large HD to store all the video? Sometimes they will specify a dual core processor to go with a particular card. Why is the processing speed not sufficient ie 3GHz? Many thanks for your time again, Dave [/QUOTE]
