The quality of 23" PC-monitor might be even better then a 27" TV! It depends on the distance you are watching it, but monitors usually have more pixels on a singe inch then LCD-TVs. I'm using kplayer or kmplayer in the notebook/desktop for dvb-t and analog tv. The tuner is hvr - 5 years already in use and no issues with it (except that the model I have - hvr900 - is a bit buggy). I'm running a server and since few months I'm running the tuner on the server with a nice program getstream which broadcasts the streams over HTTP and each PC can turn into a TV-set. I can only recommend this setup! KMplayer can record stream out of the box, though I'm running a mencoder script for this. regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
