Ok, so this is somewhat of a followup to a post I put up a week or so in
regards to dual digital tuner cards.
Assuming anyone who is buying a new tuner card basically from this point on
is considering the migration to digital-only next February, is anyone
considering anything special in regards to tuner cards? Here's a bit about
my setup, and maybe those of you who have put some thought into this can
toss me some ideas.
I've got a Visio 37" LCD in my home office, which is hooked up to my VMC
through VGA. I get cable direct from the wall, which is split off and goes
to my VMC PC (single Analog tuner card) and also to my TV RF input so I can
get around the single-program record/view limitation of a single tuner card.
When I bypass the VMC box and go direct to my TV, I can pick up HD
programming for all the network channels (NBC, ABC, FOX, CBS, etc).
However, when I attempted to configure a borrowed digital tuner card (it was
dual tuner analog/digital), it wasn't picking up any digital programming.
This has me a bit concerned, in that I don't want to find myself SOL next
February.
I have a self-built VMC box, so it's not OEM to a manufacturer. I'm pretty
flexible on what I can add, though I am somewhat PCI limited. Of course,
I'd prefer to upgrade to a PCIe tuner rather than stick with PCI.
Anyone got any thoughts on how I should proceed? Ideally I'd love to get HD
and Digital, but I know that VMC has HD limitations. I do, however, want to
continue to use the VMC guide and interface, and not a third-party app to
watch tv.
Thanks all!
Myxx
