My experience is that many cable channels have less bandwith than the DVB-T channels, also quality depends greatly on the source of the material.<br><span class="sg"><br>/Henrik</span>

<div>Which compares an old card the ATI TV Wonder Elite with hardware Mpeg2 encoder with a Hauppage PVR card.</div>
<div>Unfortunately the TV Wonder is WINDOWS ONLY no linux....and you'd need ebay to find the ATI card in the first place.</div>
<div>As far as I can see Hauppauge seem to have the hardware MPEG card market to themselves at the moment, at least in the Linux world.</div>
