snip Which tuner card do recommend? *I would like to find one with onboard decoding, not dependent on the host CPU, that has well written drivers (directshow). *I had no luck with the Hauppauge WinTV-HD (original) card. Michael I've only tried 2 different models. The ATI HDTV Wonder of which I have 4 - 1 on the shelf and 3 in computers though one of the PCs is currently not in use. The other tuner is a Hauppauge "WinTV-HVR-1250 PCI Express TV hybrid tuner" running WInTV 6. I was having problems with Fox on ch 65 in LA so the Hauppauge is connected to cable though I did have it running on the antenna for a while. The ATIs were all in Atlhon XP single core PCs (2 3200s and a 3000). Cruising around on the net would cause occaisional stutters while in record. Just a simple 'record' would use 10-25% CPU time but sometimes bump up to 100 and then the stutter. Lasr fall I got a Phenom 8650 on a Gigabyte board which is nearly stutter-free and that's _trying_ to get it to fail by doing audio noise reduction in Adobe Audition while recording TV. It's pretty much do what you like without problems. I now have a Phenoom II on another Gigabyte board which is even better. G² |
