RE: Can I get a TV card with hardware encoding ?

["Rob Mouser" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On a related point......
Does MS Media Centre 2005 support capture of Sky and EPG data for Sky? Seen
lots of discussion over the Freeview capture cards (Such as blackgold) but
is there a capture card/decoder card that is designed for a sky feed?
Or am I barking up the wrong twig?

Many thanks,

Rob
