if you are talking about SDTV, I would recommend the PVR series (MPEG2 in Hardware), and if you are planning to have 3, you could consider the PVR-500 which has 2 analogue inputs in one pci card. Ohad On Fri, Dec 26, 2008 at 9:50 PM, Shlomo Solomon shlomo.solo...@gmail.comwrote: I'm planning

why not plug them to the A/V out of the yes box? that's how i watch TV on my machine. since you won't be able to tune anyway (apart from setting an IR device to control the yes box), why waste money on new cards? I doubt the quality difference is worth it. On Sat, Dec 27, 2008 at 9:26 PM, Shlomo

The ideal case for you is to use a dvb-s/dvb-s2 card, a card reader and a YES smart card. you will not need an STB (memir) for this, and you get the digital signal with no quality loss. you will also probably be able to watch/record multiple programs with one dvb-s card if they share frequencies
