    Hi,

    Can anyone tell me if the following card will recieve Saorview and UPC analog? Also, is there anything else I needm, I see references to codecs etc in the posts, but I am out of my debth in such discussions.

    I want a card that will recieve saorview, I know that I will have to get an arial for that.

    I have UPC analog cable comming in to my house. I know that that will change in the future but it will do for now. Will I be able to stick my regular co-ax cable into the card and be able to watch and record the analog signal.

    I have Win7 Home on the PC.

    If the card is technically ok, is the s/w okay to use? I see people giving out about the supplied s/w with some cards. If the s/w is crap, can anyone reccomend a free alternative please.

    I don't think it can run saorview I'm afraid.

    Saorview works off DVB-T mpeg4, whereas that card is DVB-T mpeg2 according to the description. :cool:

    Not sure about UPC analog.

    This should work Ok as Win7 media centre has all the codecs. It is the supplied software that only works for MPEG2. You should only need to install a driver for the card, don't bother with their s/w

    Thanks for all the info. I think I get the understanding that the card will work for Saorview, but has anyone used this card for UPC analog?

    I haven't used that particular card before but have used other Hauppauge products with similar specs for UPC analogue in Dublin without any problems
