Are the two inputs on the pcHDTV cards able to operate simultaneously?
I'd take Fred's advice and really consider getting a dedicated
hardware capture card for SDTV to work alongside your HDTV card. I
have DVB-T cards on my system (UK) that also have analogue inputs that
also require software encoding - needless to say I have a PVR-150 for
the non-digital captures from my cable box.
