Hi
I am going to buy a DVB-T card to get free digital channels in Sweden.
I prefer to get MPEG2 directly since I use MVP.
I already have 2 Hauppauge 150 which are working fine.

So my first idea would be to buy Hauppauge digital DVb-T and add.
1) But maybe there are conflicts - someone tested this configuration?

2) there are several Hauppauge pure DVB-T cards anyone uses these and have comments on them?
2a) WinTV-NOVA-T-500
2b) WinTV-NOVA-T-PCI
2c) WinTV-NOVA-T-USB2
2d) WinTV-NOVA-T-Stick

3) my 150 cards do have hardware encoding - if I understand correctly all of the DVB-T cards uses PC processor for encoding - am I wrong and/or do you know of cards which have hardware encoding?

4) in Wiki I read about Pinnacle PCTV Dual DVB-T Pro PCI
4a) anyone who has comments about this card?
4b) anyone uses it together with Hauppauge 150?


5) PCTV Dual DVB-T Diversity Stick - anyone uses this? compatible with GBPVR?

The DVB transmissions are encoded by the broadcaster, so no reencoding is needed during recording.

ok thanks for the fast response!

I thought there was some extra processor power needed since lowest computer spec is much higher for e.g. Nova-T-500 (1,7GHz) contra my 150 card (0,733GHz)

but maybe that is for the software included?

Yeah, I expect so.
