[QUOTE="4Fred, post: 674372, member: 16968"] I'm looking for a DVB-S card or two since I'll be switching from DVB-C to DVB-S. Today I have a FireDTV-C since I'm on cable right now. Been doing some reading and checking and from what I understand ALL devices connected trough USB uses the computer CPU to decode MPEG 2/4 and many PCI or PCIe cards have hardware decoding, right? I'll be watching and recording HDTV and maybe even record and watch at the same time. If on USB, do my CPU handle to load well enough? It's an Athlon x64 dual core 4000+. Soo.. the million dollar question is what should I get? [/QUOTE]
