I am thinking of buying this
*www.leadtek.com.tw/eng/tv_tuner/overview.asp?lineid=6&pronameid=399
I am not sure if its available in Delhi or not but it has most features which I need & its vista compilable but i still need x64 driver to work else its no use to me.

I use compro video mate card..while doing mpeg-2 recording i notice 50-60% cpu usage..also have setting in compro software to set the display mode 16:9...although am on crt.

composite out/in is yellow in color, s-video in black (again not sure)
qualitywise i still have no idea to what extent the difference will be.
actually my software assumes composite as s-video so as this confusion

50-60% is quite high, what about the hdd activity, does that light up as long as its recording or does it have some kind of buffer space. The system wuld generate lot of heat though I have a good airflow cabinet, but just want to be sure before I go this route.
I have a good spec of my system & over that I would be on x64 bit OS that might help to reduce CPU effectively provided the driver /software supports x64bit.
Life is becoming too busy & I miss my programs badly.
I love this forum, your quick replies make me addictive of this forum.see, no s-video
Thanks for posting the images.

hdd activity is not much but noticable if you have hard look into it...afterall mpeg02 consumes 30mb per minute(approx)
cpu usage also depends upon the encoder you use, mpeg2 or divx or any other..

In that case I should look for divX capable card so it eats up less space on hdd & less cpu.

divx encoding is best if you not gonna edit afterwards,i.e once the capture process gets done. I meant if you want to edit and process the captured video(for removing ads, add your own logos,etc) then mpeg-2 would be the better option.

Oh is that the case?
Cant we edit divX, is there too much loss of quality?
I surely would edit those programs which I want to keep achieved.
IN my case at leasat 70-80% of programs will be edited rest will be just seen once & discarded.
2 good threads which I have been reading on TV tuner card, hope other members may need this info too.

I guess so, if you have the same pins in ur STB as posted in the images then it should work with dishTV also.
Best to ask your dealer & tell that if it doesn't work then he is going to take it back, else ask for pre-sales support from the company which u r buying the tuner card.

yes indeed you can edit divx vids but not recommended...the advantage of mpeg editing is that you can remove portions of captured video without re-encoding, bcoz mpeg editiors allow copy of frames(smart rendering) whereas avi don't (atleast as of now) try this software to know what I meant. very useful if you want to remove only ads. The software retains the same video quality as it was when captured, after ad removal. The resultant video can then be compressed to divx or any format using virtualdub or software of your choice.
The person who comes for installation would not accept PC for installation. He knows only to configure the setup for TV. Not sure about the dealer. In my case the technical person who came for installation denied my offer to install tatasky on pc.
MCE requires TV tuner card support..nothing to do with tatasky/dishtv digicomp. check with MCE supported tv tuner cards-list.
