My Black Gold Twin-Tuner Digital/Analogue Hybrid PCIe card can view HD TV,
but when I tried the test signals from Crystal Palace, last year, and there
was massive CPU usage. This was on a Core 2 Duo E6600. The tech support
said this was normal, as HD TV signal takes a lot of processing power to
decode.

Re: Vista Television

See Robert, I have no need for recording non HDTV any longer seeing as it's a
dying thing of the past, so now as for the last year and so since i've gotten
my HD receiver from DirecTV i've been focusing on recording the HD aspect
which Beyond TV cannot help me any better than Media Center can. Right now
I'm taking my DTV feed in thru regular Component in and then if it's an HD
feed i fit it to my widescreen monitor. it's not a great picture but it's
better than black bars on either side. The only options for actually
recording a HD feed i see are over the air and i need a lil more than that.
I just would like a HD ability to record either from a HDMI cable, DVI or
even i'll accept the CmCyRw whatever
