Cable for multimedia PC

[stelladrinka]

Hi all,

Not sure if this should go here or in the pc section, I'm looking to build a mm pc for the lounge and want to intergrate a cable decoder in it, is there one someone could recommend? I found this one digital everywhere - FloppyDTV C/CI has anyone any experience of it?

cheers Si

Was it easy to setup with the cams ect for cable, do you get all the channels I get with my dreambox 500c?

Yes, you should do as long as your incoming signal levels are sufficient.

Some people do find the FloppyDTV easier to set up especially if you intend to use it with a hardware cam as this board has the cam interface built in. The C-1501 requires an add on cam interface if you intend to use a hardware cam with it. Both boards will support software cams.
