Amateur Video Editing

Readers:

If you are like me and have a HTPC (I have a few), then you will understand the difficulty it is to try and record a High Def or semi-premium (FLIX) channel without having to hook up your cable box (and thus sometime having to change the channel to record the channel you want), or even try and get a computer with a cable card slot. Then try getting the cable card!

Happauge has come out with a new TV Tuner card that promises to solve these problems (except Premium  HBO, Showtime, Cinemax). Their new card now has a QAM decoder that will allow Windows Media Center to now record those channels that it wasn’t capable of recording before. \

Here is a quick snipet:

“The Win-TV-HVR-2250 does everything short of unscrambling Cinemax. It
features two hybrid digital tuners—hybrid because they can decode
several different types of signals. Each NXP TDA18271HD tuner chip can
decode NTSC, ATSC, and clear Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM)
signals. Because Vista doesn’t support QAM (yet), Hauppauge has
written a special plug-in that lets its cards decode those signals.”

This is awesome news and the price is very reasonable.
