Post by GX3 »

I need to order a Digital QAM (not a cable card) TV card. The house we bought does not have access to a cable Co. we cant afford Dish right now. So we have been using an over the air antenna and get a had full of channels...... However. I MISS my DVR. So here is the set up Windows 7 with Media Center two 1T drives and one 150gb drive that my OS is on. One of the 1t drives is for music storage and I wanted to use the other for the dvr. I no nothing about TV card and welcome any suggestions and input.

I have an Hauppage card, can't remember the exact model, but it is able to get cable signal, over the air signal, and have 2 rca input to plug anything in it. It's been a while since i last used it, i think it's laying somewhere in a box. I'll check tomorrow to get the exact model, but it was fairly cheap, 80$ if i recall right. Just check Hauppage cards, they works well, and i even got mine to work on linux back in the days!
