Yes you're right.

They might > tell you what kind of signalling there PCI-chips use. Yes,.. I'm already thinking about Hauppauge... Robert told me that Hauppauge announced an Dual DVB-T card, too. (for PCI) But I don't know yet if its compatible with my PCI-X, and what about those features like surround sound videotext, etc. (see other emails from me). Gavin said these aren't supported at all by those budget cards :-( cam. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
