No it's not. It doesn't do DAB Radio it does DVB-T Radio which is completely different. It's not a dual tuner either as you can't record from Digital TV and watch Digital TV at the same time.

Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 1100

PC World, Derby, UK

?89.99>

Ive never had a Hauppauge TV Tuner card, my last was an AverTV Analogue which was ok. So when browsing my local PC World i came across the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 1100 for ?89.99, So i said to my self yes im getting that because mainly it supports Window Media Center which is a plus, ive also tried another Digital TV Tuner Card which was Compro VideoMate DVB-U2200 Digital USB External TV Tuner Box which doesnt work, it drove me mad, its a problum they have been having with the USB power

<Introduction-b>

Yea that's a nice card but it doesn't do Digital TV :( I want one that works with MCE and is a dual tuner Digital card, unfortunately I don't think they exist yet.

I'm sure he means real digital TV, as in support for CableCARD and QAM tuning.

Otherwise the only way to watch Digital TV is to run the output from your digital cable box into the card versus just being able to hook up to the outlet directly.

As it stands there are currently no Cablecard capable tuners for the PC

    • Good point Anti-spoofing protection for cloud mailboxes Anti-spoofing technology in Microsoft 365 specifically examines forgery of the From header field (also known as the 5322.From address, From address, or P2 sender), because email clients show the From header value as the message sender. When Microsoft 365 has high confidence the From header is forged, the message is identified as spoofed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en...g-protection-spoofing-about
    • I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.
    • As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique materials by using master materials, using instanced meshes or combining meshes, generating a thorough PSO cache to allow shader pre-compilation and also managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime. It's up to the developer to set all that up properly and no the engine can't do all that for you that's not how any of this works.
