Hello,
I want to buy an USB TV Card for my HTPC, which runs Vista Home Premium and of course MediaPortal 1.1.0, and I ask you for recommendation.
The reason I don't want a PCIE card is simple: the system is not well ventilated and may suffer overheating issues. I don't want to generate more heat inside the case.
I prefer an hybrid card (SAT+DVBT) with HDTV support (HDTV is just starting in my country), but SAT support is not critical as I'm not a suscriber and therefore only FTA channels will be received. Not a priority, then.
Usual features are needed: recording, timeshift, etc. A popular card would be preferred, just for the better community support.
Could you please give me some suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
