I'm running a server with two Hauppauge PVR-150 tuners, GBPVR 96.12 (been meaning to upgrade). In my bedroom, I have a Pentium 3 networked PC also running a GBPVR client and I tweaked it to play the recordings off the server. This is all working fine. In fact, I just purchased a 42" LCD TV which is connected to the P3 PC thru VGA which works very well.
I am interested to purchase an HDTV tuner and was wondering if I could throw one into the server as a third tuner.
Questions:
1. What HDTV tuner(s) work best with GBPVR?
2. Can I record HDTV seemlessly with GBPVR while continuing to record the analog content? I remember somewhere in the forums that I can customize the tuner channels so that only the HDTV tuner has access to the HD channels.
3. Main Question - would I be able to play the HDTV recordings in the bedroom thru GBPVR and thru the VGA port? I am not sure if the P3 1Ghz PC is fast enough to process the HD signal but that is a test I can make. But if the PC can process the files, will I see the output in true HD on the 42" LCD TV?
Any pointers on this is greately appreciated.
