WHY BUY A TV AND A FREEVIEW BOX WHEN YOU CAN USE YOUR PC
I didn't have a tv in my room since there wasn't any room for even a small one. I thought how would I be able to view TV in my room.
Buying a Flat Screen TV (which probably is the only TV that would have fit into my small room) would have cost my A LOT of money that I didn't have. I also would have had to buy a FREEVIEW Box.. More money expenses.
Having searched on the INTERNET I came across many different TV PCI Cards. I FINALLY came across the WinTV-HVR-1100 PCI Card.
Having visited the Hauppauge website and reading reviews on this product I couldn't believe how good and cost effective this PCI card was.
I brought the PCI Card for around £45.00.
You get an Instruction Manual with the PCI Card so even the novice computer Hardware person (like me) is able to ...
Advantages: Inexpensive and useful Disadvantages: Does not install on all motherboards tried
apparently the person dealing with returns was on holiday?
On receipt of replacement - again no joy so I abandoned the whole thing and vowed never to try TV cards again.
As it happens I decided to build a new computer for Vista soon after that, and as I had a spare PCI slot on
the ASUS P5B Premium Series motherboard I inserted the card just to see what would happen.
Immediately I had installed Vista it started working!
I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium Media Centre to view TV so don't have to install the rather dated looking software that comes with this card.
With Media Centre you can choose which channels appear in the channel list and it downloads info to the EPG every day.
I have not tried the remote nor the FM radio side of this card
(some radio channels are included in with Freeview so I have no need ...
I would say there are six websites that I could not live without. I would not say that it is a mixed bag of sites - it is either money making related or media related. One of these media related websites is the official website of my greatest inspiration in life. She is such a wonderful person, and a perfect role model. Who is this woman? Of course, it's Andrea McLean!
If you for some reason do not know who Andrea McLean is, then I am a tiny bit offended! She was a long running weather girl for GMTV, only to give up that post a few months back. She is now the main anchor of ITV daytime chat show phenomenon Loose Women, a job I would kill for. She is one of the most amazing TV Presenters around, and has such a wonderful personality. The day I met her was one of the most amazing days of my life, a moment I will treasure forever. She ...
