Hello, I'm just getting ready to setup a PVR for myself on my FreeBSD machine, but I thought I would run by my plans with you guys first just to ensure that this will work. I have a satellite signal (Bell ExpressVu), it comes with a set-top box that inputs and outputs a coax signal. I'm looking at the Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250 and using the driver for this provided in the ports tree with MythTV. Really, all I need this for is recording TV shows just like we used to use a VCR for. If I can schedule, record, save to a directory, I'll pick up this Hauppauge card. Are there minimal requirements for the video and sound cards, or is all of this handled by the Hauppauge card? Any experiences doing something similar to what I'm doing? Any general advice? Thanks! ----------- Joe Auty NetMusician: web publishing software for musicians http://www.netmusician.org joe@netmusician.org
