IF you have NTL Digital TV coming through set top box + Broadband Internet, connected to the same set top box - How big a leap is it, to receive the NTL TV pictures on your PC?
Possible or not - Alternative solutions please?
Thanks for reading - I look forward to your suggestions / laughter 
P.S. Hello - I'm new here. |
thats the thing, it would be possible to take the pure digital DVB transport stream straight off the incoming ts direct to your networked computer with a simple save, but for the fact NTL:tw didnt see fit to include that software standard option in the current STBs.
its possible that they may or NOT add that option from their STB providers in the new NTL version of the current tw TVDRIVE but i wouldnt bet on it.
so as has been said, the only real official option right now is use the old tech option of an analogue TV card video-in (or a TV card that can re-encode in hardware) and some software encoder to save the currently tuned station.
but if your watching any station you can also get on DVB digital freeview then your better getting a USB DVB-T card and using that to record your content as its a direct copy and hence better quality playback.
if your just feeding NTL scart in to your anologue card try a copy of the free 'Dscaler' if it supports your tv card chipset as thats the best picture your likely to get.
