HDTV tuner cards
Hi hopefully someone can help me out. I am looking at building a new PC and
I am trying to get more info on TV tuner cards. I don't understand exactly how they work. I currently have direct tv with an HD DVR so if I and a HDTV tuner card to the PC can I use it to replace my DVR if the card is also a PVR? In other words do I just hook in the cables that currently go to my DVR and I can record, pause and rewind live TV? Can I burn the video to disk? Thanks for the info

I am sure that you can find a Card that can do all those things but it
depends on what you want to Pay. Check here http://www.hdtvtunerinfo.com/commonquestions.html "Cougs_83" wrote in message ... Hi hopefully someone can help me out.

The TV cards are limited to what they can do,first,youre recieving
video,being able to send out cmds is diffrent as the cards have "video-in".ATI makes a fairly good one starts at 60.00,you'd probably have to spend a whole lot more for better.Also,youre best bet,install the cards drivers only (no software),for great software (doing the same),download & install Windows media encoder, get the utilities also...
