Hi,
What type of TV tuner card are you guys using with your Parhelia? I want something that works on both heads, and slides from one monitor to another without crashing!!! Previously I was using a G400MAX and a RRG which ran flawlessly! But then I got the urge to record, and Matrox disabled the hardware MPEG chip on w2k/XP (THANKS!!!). So now I was looking at the MSI TV @nywhere MASTER, which uses a Conexant CX23881 10bit decoding chip and silicon tuner. I have heard that the tuner has difficulty with week reception, so it's bad for OTA stuff, but I will be using cable. I was mainly concerned with how it interacts with my new Parhelia. Also, how is DScaler? Does it work with Parhelia on both heads (which both have a hardware overlay, as opposed to my G400MAX)? Does DScaler work with the Conexant CX23881/883 chipset? Otherwise I will probably use WinDVR. I read that the MSI Master also supports MPEG4 recording, how is that? All opinoins are appreciated!
