rolfw,
I have since bought the WinTV-DVR-250 and installed it on my XP Professional op sys.
I was told by 'they' that some tv cards did not support sky digital, hence the question.
I have encountered my first problem. When I use the record function, and select load/play, it crashes on my XP Prof version - not sure if I need an updated driver etc, but will look into it.
Hope this is not the first of many heartaches.
Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated.
