I went my friend's place with my HVR-1300 and powered antenna to test out the reception in buangkok. Can only get TV mobile and weak signals of HD5 (no 5 or 8) on digital.

The very next day, my friend went to buy a HVR-900H. And he told me all the channels (including 5 n 8 n HD5) have very strong signals. All video quality very good. And he's just using the provided short, unpowered antenna.




Weird......

Can try FusionHDTV from Dvico. It has both PCI and USB versions. But Memoryworld don't bring in as they need to buy 50 units.

This is my virgin post, so forgive me.
What about for Starhub leh? Can i connect the starhub set top box to the card and view from my monitor? Or do i need a different type of card for the starhub set top box?
When viewing starhub channels on my PC monitor, what kind of default resolutions will i be seeing it at? Some of my friends are saying to go up to HD better, is that true? Will HD also need a different tuner card?

live, so if i want analog only n want to record, which 1 shld i get, need hardware encoding which 1 is good n price is resonable. i tink i need analog only, cause my room anthena is the starhub the arial box, the rooftop 1 is digital rite? tat 1 in my living room too far to connect :S den if pc see hd got difference meh? if my monitor not hd ready or wat, haha.... my starhub arial is not the starhub box, its the box with TV FM, that box. ps explain not good in sch anyhow type n ask -.-

hvr1300 sibei old card liao~!

My HVR1300 is a very old card.

Its an OK card, but due to aspect ratio issues, I always have two vertical black bars appearing at either sides of the screen (I am using a 24 inch widescreen monitor). Any idea how to remdedy it?

Thanks!
