Hello
Ive got a PC with Thermaltake Bach case running vista and i-median. I want to be able to watch and record freeview on it with a USB receiver (My dad built it and refuses to ever go inside that box again so itll have to be USB!) Im new to all this DVB on your PC stuff and there are so many products out there, from the 7.99 e-bay jobby to the £100 and more from Maplin, Im finding it difficult to tell what you get for your money! Until recently I had sky plus so I really want something of similar quality if possible. The features Im really looking for are:
Record/watch two channels at once (Dual Channel Receiver?)
Pause Live TV (Timeshift?)
7 day EPG
Scheduling (and series-link if possible?)
Also, hope this isnt expecting too much, but I was hoping not to pay too much for it! My b/f has his eye on a set top receiver with h/d for recording for £100 but I reckon that getting it on the pc will be a cheaper and better idea. I want to be right, lol.
Does anybody have any advice or recommendations on what to buy and what I can get for my money?
Also, does the software needed usually come with them? Could I use my i-median to do all the watching/recording???
Any help appreciated!
