[QUOTE="Taipan, post: 22981, member: 11681"] Hi chayan, and welcome to MediaPortal.... DVB cards are for receiving digital TV and are available as PCI cards (plug into a slot in your PC motherboard) and as USB external devices. It sounds like what you are looking for is an analogue TV card (since you probably don't have digital TV in India), which are also available as PCI cards. The important thing about and analogue TV card is to get one that uses hardware encoding (i.e, it uses a chip on the TV card to convert the analogue TV signal to MPEG2 digital, rather than use software to do the MPEG2 encoding). I am not familiar with the card you mention (the compro videomate gold II), but you would be best to select a card that is [url=http://www.maisenbachers.de/dokuw/install:capturecards:start]supported by MediaPortal[/url], and that is listed as type = H/W (which means it is for analogue TV, with hardware encoding). HTH.... :) [/QUOTE]
