Also, I should mention that the MYHD card will record just fine of off the air programing with a UHF antenna or a digital cable tv service (if availible) using the QAM type modulation. It will record the 480i (standard definition analog programing) or 480p digital and 720p and 1080i high definition programing when its being broadcast. But, it requires 8.7 gigabytes of harddrive per/hr of content recorded. Just for your info.

think it's not really useful for me as singapore uses mpeg4 avc h.264 format for the HD broadcast. the SD channels are transmitted both analog and digital, which is mpeg2.

im using hauppauge hvr1300 dvb-t tuner card. i hv to use 3rd party software & install h.264 codec to tune to hdtv channel. at the moment we just started on trial. athough it work fine but the decoding can easily choked up 90% of the cpu, the image become lagging because the huge amount of resources used.

from other users, even dual core users find it lagging to watch hdtv here. so the best solution was to find a digital tvcard that do h.264 hardware encoding, which apparently i hvnt found it.

Yea, once you see HD, you'll never wanna look at normal TV...

I will still prefer 4:3 HD if there's such a broadcast...

I'm in no hurry, because, judging by the slowness of Malaysia, we will probably only get HD contents in 10 years time. By then, most of the sources and displays are probably wide screen. So I will wait while enjoying the 4:3 format.

Hehe.. That's very true. Although RTM is pushing for HD broadcast, I don't expect to see it very soon...
