TV Tuner? (Curently have a PVR-150 MCE From Hauppauge)

Post by FormatC »

Is there a tuner out there that can record two S-Video Inputs at the Same Time? I Ask this because I currently have a PVR-150 and CableVision is taking more and more channels off of the cable ready Channel Line up. I mostly record from the un-premium cable (Not HBO or Showtime, I record a show from channel 123 the N which is part of the IO package) channels so would QAM cover that? or do I need to get two boxes and a tuner that can record from two S-Video Sources at once? and also what would I do about the guide the way I have it now is I use the timer on the box to set the channel and I have it hooked up through Svideo and sage has a "Timed Record" But I want it to say the name of the show instead of the numbers so is there a decent solution out there for my situation? Thanks

PS My cable box is a Scientific Atlanta 4250HD and it has two IEEE 1394 Ports can I use one of those to control it and maybe get the picture to the PC using my capture card?
Computers are a lot like air conditioners - they both work great until you open up windows.

You will likely find a better answer here.

S-video doesn't have audio, so you might be able to record a 2 shows but there wouldn't be audio.
