WinTV-NOVA-HD-S2?

[jmb]

Has anyone got this card (link) working in GBPVR yet?
Thinking of setting up a PC with two - would that let me do the whole "record one channel while watching another/record two channels stuff like Sky+?
I'd want it to access the "Freesat" service in the UK, including HD content from the BBC and so on.

Would a graphics card like the ATI Radeon 2400 HD decode HD stuff fine (and reduce the need for a monster CPU) or is there more to it than that?

Ta!

Yup I have the dvb-s2 hauppauge card and a 2600 pro. You need to add this to bda.in file

[Hauppauge Nova-HD-S2]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-S
FILTER_TUNER=Hauppauge WinTV 88x DVB-S/S2 Tuner/Demod
FILTER_CAPTURE=Hauppauge WinTV 88x TS Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

...as for video acceleration, yes it works but I also believe cpu grunt helps a lot, some have a better expeience than others.

Got it working yesterday with my S2.

Recording worked fine from the RT EPG. I had a peek at the Task Manager/Processes and it was using 3 to 4% of processor capacity (Core 2 Duo 2.13 with 2GB).

Playback excellent (BBC HD), peaking at 53% of processor capacity.

Graphics card is Radeon x1650se 512 MB.

This is a great product, and the user documentation is outstanding. Many thanks to all who contributed.
