Hey Steve: I have a QualiTV 1080IR for HD and 4:2:2 video.
When I want to capture a Saluki game that is HD, I pipe it over to my computer and watch and capture it on a TwinHan 102g PCI card. Both of them work just great for HD. I'm going to spring for the pansat 9200HD receiver if the price comes down a bit. As far as HD on FTA, here are some of my favorites: (You'll have to scan these in - the pids change occassionally) Most of them are only up during prime time. ABC HD Galaxy 16 Cband 4140 V 29125 AC3 audio On Galaxy 26 Cband: CBS HD EAST 4080 (V) 32364 CBS WEST 4180 (H) 32364 CW HD 4060 (H) 32364 The Outdoor Channel HD Galaxy 10R 4180 H 29270 VPID 1660 APID 1620 PMT 5020 PBS HD AMC 3(KU) - TP 22: 12140 (V) 30000 Jeff Little Egypt ----- Original Message ----- From: stephen smith To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2008 8:40 AM Subject: Re: [TVRO] Re: Expand the view Have you guys had any luck with the HD channels on FTA? What receivers are you using? Have you tried the PC cards for this purpose?
