Hi Rolf,

do you have kids ? I have, and their bedtime starts often to the best tv
time. So, i guess it would be better to spent the time to bring them into the
bed (without watching steadily to the clock ) and start the tv evening just
later.
And the cost reduction is about 300,-DM !(400,-DM fully DVBs card + 200,-DM
low budget card - both second hand against 200,-DM low buget + 100,-DM MPEG2
card). The PCI bus will be stressed for both solutions.

But if me dream never comes true, i can switch to the highend solution by
just buying the DVBs card, that's the reason why i bought the Nova first. 

My real question was about getting only the Nova running (recording only,
because of missing MPEG2 decoder hardware). Do you have any hints about that.

Thanks,

Stefan.
