I personally use two boxes (a very old slow box (Pentium 166MHz P54C) for a hauppauge PVR 250 (that box needs special care regarding the network traffic while the PVR card is active; seems to be a problem with the old box... :-)) ) and my newer box (Athlon XP 2400+) for a pinnacle PCTV rave and a Hauppauge WinCast/TV, so that I can record 3 channels at the same time (1 in good quality 720x576 pixel and two in less quality 448x336), but then I cannot watch TV. :-)) > I am not able to find the Hauppage 250/350 > easily. > I have found at ebay some PVR 250 and 350 cards - but just german sellers - some would ship to Italy. I could translate some descriptions, if u want me to... -Arne __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
