Those are higher end power supplies, for $115 for the Antec you are getting a $70+ power supply. Be careful with the lower quality power supplies, check out this this link , very good info especially if you want to upgrade to a 9800 which takes its own power connection.
Wanted to manage multiple streams to record two different shows and watch a DVD at the same time. Not necessarily practical....I'll read up on it some more.
excellent processor and mobo combination of price/performance. Check out this case and power supply if you are not concerned with looks. Great Case Has plenty of room, great for cooling, and comes with one of the best power supplies antec true power 430W. I would definitely suggest...
good info, thanks. here is my understanding from your categories, let me know if I missed anything: - Build computer - got that one - I need a capture card for each input, 2 satellite dish boxes, one OTA antenna, one external DVD = 4 cards. - Software to process/view/time shift/manage video...
i am looking to learn the basics of capturing video (from multiple sources) and distributing using a dedicated PC. What are some of the best resources to learn? I have a pretty good background with computers. Thanks in advance.
I have a couple of decent components (HDTV, DVD player) for a basic setup and would like to add a relatively inexpensive surround sound setup. The Onkyo hts760 looks like very good system for $500. Would I be missing something by going for this setup or would a "better" system be significantly...
With the recent price drop, I have to get a Tivo today. How do the two manufacturers compare? I was leaning toward the Philips because it was a little newer.
Thanks for the answers on my earlier post about diplexers, that solved my worst problem of the inside wiring run. I have a Terk55 which I need to set up, is it best to mount on the roof? My dish points south from the back of the house but I am not getting any reception OTA. Most (all) of the...
I have a DST3000 STB and the oval Direct TV dish. I want to receive the network HDTV broadcasts, especially the NFL. Is it possible to use an OTA outside and plug the signal into the multi-switch to receive the signal? All rooms in my house are finished and I would have a hard time running a new...
I have directv setup with the 24" dish, toshiba DST3000, toshiba 50"HDTV and I am currently getting local channels through directv. What is the best equipment and setup to pick up local and local HD signals OTA?
I have an approximately 8 month old oval direct tv dish and I am starting to have problems with signal reception. The strange part is that I have no problem until it rains and then the 101 satellite goes out completely, but I still have a picture from the 119. The problem continues even as the...
I am looking for some help with a start-up home theater audio set-up. I would like the small satellite speakers instead of bookshelf. Is there a problem with the "In a box" packages you get at Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. My only issue is that the cost seems to go up dramatically if you pass...
I got the Toshiba DST 3000 HD receiver from www.minidishes.tv I believe they had systems, DST3000 and elliptical dish, for about $650 with free professional installation. Not a bad deal.
I recently purchased a Toshiba 50H81 looking at HDTV as the future and I had to replace a TV now. After being disappointed with the analog cable picture, I decided to get Directv along with a Toshiba DST 3000 HD receiver. It finally gets installed and I am still disappointed in the picture...
