Is it required to have a TV Card in the computer hosting LinuxMCE.
I got an awesome price on a brand new computer only 170 GBP, 2000 NOK.
So i think im going to buy one, but i wonder if i need a tv card in the box?.
Hauppauge WinTV Primio TV+FM - Is the card im thiniking about. Its PCI Express.
But would this work with LinuxMCE?. I think i read that LinuxMCE could record tv if it was a videocard, but is it required from the bottom of?.
My setup would be like this.
Antenna > LinuxMCE > Video output (VGA) no S-Video > My 32" inch tv.
Anoyone think if this could work out just fine? Thanks for answers.
Best regards, Kent.
No its not required. But if you wish you could get the computer install linux MCE and just get the card later, but I wouldn't suggest getting an x16 card right off as you might need a higher end graphics card.
No need for the TV card, just make sure and spend 400,- NOK on an Nvidia Gf 6x00 or better.
2000,- Nok, that is very good.
I bought my current test rig on a "loppemarked" for 300,- and it works like a charm, of course adding the wanted hardware did triple that price ;)
