Hi,
I've been wanting a PC DVB card for a while now and being a cautious soul I've been doing a bit of research to try to find the best one for my purposes.
->I need a card that can do timer record to harddisk (hopefully in a standard format like MPEG2 so I can later DIVX it.
->Has the ability to support an extension CI module (might need it in the future).
->Is stable (mature drivers that don't nuke my machine in the middle of recording my favourite program!!).
->Doesn't need a degree in computer science to operate!
And so far I've come up with the Hauppauge nexus S. I've talked to a Hauppauge rep in the UK and he assures me it'll do everything I need (but then he would wouldn't he?)
Have any of you guys got this card? If so I'd love to hear from you. You know , just general opinions on it's stability, ease of use, features etc.
Also, my current sat gear is for analog so would I need to change my LNB etc. It's about 3 years old, 0.6db, Universal 22kHz tone switched.
Thanks for reading my dumb questions but I'm a bit new to this digital stuff!
