Hi all,
I'm looking at adding a dvb-t card or usb to my system. I'm currently using a Pinnacle PCTV Sat-CI version 1 card (TwinHan compatible) and though I'm not entirely happy about buying it and replacing the AverMedia DVB-s card I originally had, because for some reason I thought I needed to have a CI-slot turns out i don't but anyhows there you go.
Anyways I was wondering if anyone know which card I should get I would like something which supports iteractive servises, (you know for UK views its the Red Botton).
Also I'd like the card to allow video-in so I can connect my VCR and other other things to it. I'ld ideally like a usb version, though I yet to come across one that does this. I've run out of space at the back of my pc though I think I'v got a spare pci slot, so I may have to remove my fax modem and buy an external one. Besides I'm scared of running onto a power shortage.
I don't know if power is the reason but at time when I boot up my system just before windows gets into the login screen the DVB-s card is turned off. I'm so upset about the card that I'm inclinded to blame as being shoddy even its not. I'm running WinXP MCE SP2 and have a 450watt psu.
One of the main reasons I regret ditching my AverMedia DVB-s is because I had everything but the CI slot.
I've come accross the Jetway card on ebay as well as the avermedia cards but the prices are just too high for me at the moment. I mean I can get a freeview box for les than these peices of plastic and metal that sit in the pc. Arte there other cards out there that give me these two things and hopefully cost less?
By the way are there top-up tv compatable dvb-t cards
