so you want to go analogue>digital>analogue? Ew.

if he's unlucky and gets a crap card, he can take it back and tell them it's crap. I had two before the one i settled for.

pvr functions are indeed software based, but it's a hell of a lot easier to timeshift a 4mbit dvb stream than it is going to be to timeshift an analogue-captured feed. bear in mind that there's virtually no cpu usage when writing a digital stream to disc, as opposed to heavy cpu usage when ENCODING and capping analogue to digital, not to mention the filsizes being way higher.
