Question re: Video cards, video out to TV

[kevreh]

I'm getting my mind wrapped around the feasibility of setting up a Sage solution. Coming from TIVO its' a little daunting but intriguing.

Basically looking for a card(s) that let me bring in two Directv signals and output (svideo) to my tv. Is there a card that does all 3? I know there's duo tuner cards, but is there a two tuner card with svideo out? Or a 1 tuner with svideo out?


Thanks-

Your video card in your PC is waht you use to get you video out. TV tuner cards are all inputs. (Except PVR350 or Xcard-whole other story.) WHether you use DirectTV, cable or an outside antenna , the tuner cards get those signals into your PC and your video card gets it to the TV for you to watch.

Ok, looks like my card doesn't have a svideo out...

Also keep in mind that for each signal, you will need a satellite box/cable box for each signal that goes to each tuner card in your computer. I think Directv has a dual tuner box though.
