PC Cable Card

[shady77]

is there a version with a hardware mpeg encoder? i had a custom media pc with a dual core cpu and a tv card with software encoding. when recording the tv signal was a bit choppy.

What you need is "nvidia purevideo decoder" and point your software to use that!

I'm also currently looking into this whole DVB-C thing, but want to run it on Ubuntu (MythTV).
Anymore info on good cards or how to use nagravision, cams would be great.
I have been googling but not found much.

Anyone familiar with the Mystique Cabix-C2 (a.k.a KNC1 TV-Station, a.k.a Terratec Cinergy)?

The Mystique site, (and the DVBShop site) do not give much detail on the technical specifics, but the KNC site lists hardware support for MPEG. I presume mean that the decoding is done on the card and takes the pressure off the CPU.

my friends from tbsdtv make a windows dvb-c usb adapter that you could use and unlock channels with. the only thing i dont like about it is that it doesnt support linux.
