DVB-T High Definition card

[ginacman]

I would like to pick one for H.264 but I've got hard time wading through the german spoken topics. Can anyone indicate one of them successful, presumably coming with BDA drivers? Thanks

Hello,

 

for DVB-T you can get every card/stick you would. the only thing you need is a decoder which can H.264

Oh if you use a USB stick, make sure it is a real USB 2.0 stick!

I'm already using a LifeView FlyDVB-T Duo Cardbus adapter and it works well, although quite poor in sensitivity (but this is another story).

 

I cannot test in HD yet, because such programs in my region just will start soon.

 

My doubt stems from the fact that some manufacturers sport their product as HD specific, such as the following:

Do you think is it really suited for HD in some respect?

Thanks

The same question, perhaps, could be put differently: who is currently receiving DVB-T high definition programs and, if anybody, which receiver card is using?

For HD via DVB-T you don't need a special DVB hardware. It's more or less a software thing (H.264 decoder!). However, you'll need a PC that is fast enough or a graphics card that provides H.264 decoding support.

 

My doubt stems from the fact that some manufacturers sport their product as HD specific, such as the following:

Most likely the enclosed software installs a H.264 decoder (which means the vendor has to pay additional licence fees), that's all.
