Hi Everyone! Ok, only been home for 12 hours but I've been playing for most of that time <smile>, I'll bomb out later on today no doubt.
Thanks for all the email regarding this device, I didn't think so many people would be interested so here follows some more observations I've made about the device thus far. I did tell you that I'd gone as far as scheduling broadcasts to be recorded with this tuner, you can also have the tuner burn the recording straight to a blank DVD, that's extremely useful if you plan to play the DVD on a player at a later time. Someone wrote to me privately regarding scanning for channels, you can do this easily by pressing f2 from the main screen, a "scan channels" dialogue box pops up, you can select your country and then your city, not just capital cities but regional centres and cities close to transmission towers are mentioned, i guess these locations also adjust the sensitivity control which exists in this dialogue box. When you've selected your ountry and city press the scan button and the scan takes place, takes about 1-2 minutes to complete. Now this is for the digital TV tuner and not the analogue TV tuner, the card has both and (to be quite honest), I'd want to use analogue when digital is on offer in your location <smile>, you'll get a far better picture (if anyone is interested I can attach a sample of some of the video this card records, I have 10 seconds of it recorded here and its about 5.5MB in length, the card records in uncompressed MPG video format by default though this can be changed.) So just to wet your appetite even further, here's a brief list of some of the shortcuts on offer. F1 Help f2 scanning settings f8 EPg (electronic Programme Guide) f9 Scheduler f10 Capture settings (image) f11 Video settings f12 General Settings a Audio Control h Video control s Audio Control (stereo/mono) Up arrow, Channel Up Down Arrow, Channel down Left Arrow, Decrease Volume Right Arrow, Increase Volume There are others of course and they're all listed in the help file. I have sighted assistance coming tomorrow and then the fun starts, we'll get to work on the remote controller which came with the card. -- Dane Trethowan From Melton Victoria Australia mailto:"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" phone (+61 3) 9005 8589 Fax (+61 3) 9743 7954 Mobile/SMS (+61 418) 773 532 MSN [EMAIL PROTECTED] skype callto:grtdane12 ****************************** Jonathan Mosen List Founder Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
