Dual HD Options- Outside the PC

#1

Post by cjmccarthy72 » Mon Dec 12, 2011 1:33 pm

Any help appreciated- just in the process of moving from a Sony XL100 which had space for two PCI tv tuner cards, to a ASRock Vision 2nd gen version which has no room for any tuners (or 6TB of HDs, but got a WHS for that!).

So are there any HD options out there, Freeview HD or Freesat HD, networked or USB for getting tv into my new tiny pc. Ideally I would like at least dual tuners as I do not want millions of connections/wires. There is this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/PCTV-Systems-DV ... B004C1176E but it seems a lot for just one tuner.

Mant thanks

Have you thought about using dvblogics software, installing the tuners in the whs, and the using their connector service to connect your media pcs to your WHS? Check out dvblogic.com for details.

PS, no I don't work for them, just use their software ;-)

Just a very belated thank you Tony. I did indeed use DVB logic and it has kind of worked - although I am struggling after a fresh reinstall on my HTPC. I thought I was ok with PCs, but I think I need Stephen Hawking 's help with it at times.....!
