[Official] DVB-T2 USB/PCI-E/PCI TV Tuner Thread

[cscs3]

Ur TVs power consumption seen to be on the high side~ my old 34" philips CRT consumes 90 to 124W, got another 14" toshiba CRT that uses 44W and my LG 47" LED only draws 49W on medium eco mode~ all measurements are measured by power meter~

New TV also got an advantage to play all media formats w/o the need of additional media box player which also reduce additional power~ anyway, I dun think many pple buy new tv just to save power, if wanna save money best is dun subscribe cable or miotv, money saved can allow u to buy new tv every few yrs~

It depend on you old CRT TV features eg dual tuner, PIP etc. As I mention, my 47" takes 130 Watts "MAX". Sure, it will take less in eco mode.

By new TV as a reason to save power is surely not a right reason.

If your TV is those with DVB-T2 tuner. You can record from the HD channels. As far I know, it cannot record sources from HDMI.

probably not
cos sg uses DVB-T2 v1.3.1 standard

many tuners uses earlier standard which is not compatible

waiting for new pci card

waiting for new pci card

that interface is slowly being phased out : evident in newer motherboards omitting a PCI expansion slot completely so you'd be looking at PCI-e and USB
