Hello,
I’m looking into setting up an HD OTA system to watch on my computer. I’m currently doing that with an analog OTA signal using a Hauppauge TV tuner.
I have a few questions:
1) Does anyone have any advice on who makes good PCI (not PCI excess) HD tuners? Preferably they should be hardware tuners/ decoders so that my CPU is freed.
2) Does anyone have advice on good OTA antennas? I’m in Atlanta, Ga, surrounded by many large skyscrapers, but I’m less than 5 miles from the stations that I want to receive.
3) Does anyone know if you need processors faster than a single 2.5Ghz CPU to watch HD TV on a computer? [i.e. Does watching/ recording HD TV on a computer require significantly more computing power than analog signals?]
Any advice and reviews would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in advance!
