Found a good site for testing out your computer power. See if yours measures up :

I already have two freeview TV or (DVB T1) PCI cards in my PC but they don't support freeview HD in the UK, Oh! no, we need DVB T2 cards that support mpeg4 for that.

After hunting around on the web and doing a bit of research I discovered that there aren't many serious options available on the market for the desktop PC, we seem to be limited to two card manufactures.

TBS

Black & Gold

Both of these cards get good customer reviews, have options of single or dual for watching one channel and recording another at the same time and most importantly they both work in Windows Media Center.





I will be going for the TBS PCI-E DVB-T2 Dual card simply because it's the cheaper option.

Will post some screenshots and maybe a video when I have it installed and running.

Not really motor sport, but it seemed to fit here best. Thought this might interest you guys. BTW if I ever get a super car it would be a TVR.

One of the things I like about living in Nevada is that the weather is never wholly predictable. From time to time, we get the oddest weather here. I've seen Februaries with temperatures in the upper 80's (low 30's Celsius), and I've seen it snow so hard on the 4th of July that we've had to cancel our Independence Day celebration at the local park, and even saw snow plows roaming the streets on the same day. On the 23rd of this month (2 days ago) the weather was sunny, and the temp was 86 degrees (30C). Today? It's currently 34 degrees (1 degree C), and it's been snowing a bit. See what I mean?
