Re: Another XP Media Center Question.
hello jim, yes there are many different versions available. there are internal pci models plus USB models that are available like a memory stick or as a box with a USB lead coming off of it. but probably the best ones on the market are the nebula models. they all support audio description transmissions for both listening to live and for recording. this obviously depends on where you are in the world, but they do work in several countries and they are listed on their website: www.nebula-electronics.co.uk they also are aware of the needs of visually impaired people and make their software as accessible as possible. they are also about to launch a new home media centre that has 3 digital tuners plus a 500 gb hard drive within it that will work by connecting direct to a tv, via a wired network, or by wi-fi to your pc's or to tv's around the home if you connect one of their thin client receivers to the tv. i also believe that their adapters are the only ones on the market that are able to receive high definition signals. the other major manufacturer of digital pc adapters is hauppauge and their international site is: www.hauppauge.com but their models don't support audio description. pete.

Re: Another XP Media Center Question.
Hi! I just went to the web site for nebula electronics, and liked what I was able to read there, but before I even think about buying anything, I have some questions. Would the pci card version of their tv tuner work in the stats, and if so, does it work well with Windows Media center? I'm very interested in getting it for my new computer if it supports audio description features.

I'm not so sure because basically, Microsoft instruct pc manifacturers to only support a small number of chips because they must be validated by MS Arnaud de Bonald - WeBlog: http://www.echo-on.org - Skype: Netcava Jim Noseworthy a écrit : > Hi Folks: > > Is it possible to acquire a tv tuner card that will record digital TV? > > Thanks all over the place gang. > > > > Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... > http://www.pc-audio.org > > To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What you really need to ask is whether your television service provider can send the proper codes to the card to authorize it for use on their network. You may also discover, much to your annoyance, that the channel mapping differs between what a set-top box would know and what your TV tuner card would know. Case in point: Here in Manhattan, a friend connected his Media Center PC directly to his cable. QVC, which was channel 55 on his box, was accessed at channel 200-something through Media Center controlling the tuner card. He's not paying for any premium services so there's no issue of tuner-card authorization, it apparently just works like it should on regular "basic" channels. Be careful, this could happen to you with the cards mentioned.
