    Hi,

    At the moment I've my PC hooked up to my TV using a video and audio cable to watch AVIs etc.
    However, I'm wondering now about recording programs from my TV back to the PC.
    A few of the how-to's I've been reading advise on the use of a TV Tuner Card....is this necessary for the setup I require?
    Is there any existing technology too that can change channels etc?

    Thanks

    You can only get a TV tuner card for terrestrial TV (analogue and or digital), analogue cable or FTA (free-to-air) satellite. As neither Sky or UPC offer CAMs there's no practical way of recording Sky or digital cable on your PC without going through analogue connections (composite or s-video outputs from your STB) and losing a lot of picture quality, and you'll have no channel control, EPG, etc., on your PC.

    Sky+ or UPC's equivalent (I think they call it "Digital+" now) would be a much better recording solution if you have either of them, otherwise a TV card could work for you.

    You can control channel changes on any device usin
    g id emitters. This Is supported very easily using windows media center. As mentioned you will get a drop in quality as you will not be able to use hdmi. Visit the htpc forum foe more info
