Re: Digi Tv
dionbwfc>> I think Im gonna start with the basics. I've set out to have a server in my living room so I can use it to view my PC media on the TV (Photographs, Movies, listen to MP3's etc) and also have the ability to record TV.
As far as showing the media, its pretty straightforward just using a TV output card from my PC to my TV and controlling the PC via an FM remote.
Its the Recording TV that Im new to.
I wanted to use a Mini-ITX board to receive the TV from the STB, to then display it back to the TV. This means you can only record what the box is set to. Some software can send out an IR signal to change the channel of your STB at the time to record, but to me this is not a true Recorder.
The other option is to get another STB, has anyone done this? is it expensive?
or I can Split the signal and receive the Terrestrial channels and feed them into my Gfx card, which will mean the TV card can then pick which channel to record, but only from channels 1-5 plus a couple of others.
Has anyone tried any of the above... I would like to get Windows Media edition, but not available to buy on own...
cheers
