On the fly recording allows you to choose a length (in minutes) of how long you want to record for and also allows you to record the current channel (eg. Scheduled Recording and on the fly recording is allowed in the software. The Composite input really shows how bad composite video is and the S-Video input shows that S-Video is a pretty good input The analogue inputs work well even with me using the input of my sound card for the sound. I don't have a 5.1 surround sound setup so I can't test this (I have a SB Live! 5.1 sound card with only too speakers, another I wish I had a job moment). Picture quality is quite good (even on my 14/15' (I'm not sure which) monitor and GeForce 4 MX 440 SE (Which supports DXvA)).Īudio is nice and clear through my sound setup. I can watch both ABC's and Win's HD Channels without any problems (compared to the VisionPlus which had both audio and video problems depending on what software/codec I was using). Other than that small issue (and the fact that my computer is just powerful enough to use the software video decoder (It's times like these I wish I had the money to upgrade my computer)), the cards decoders work fine. It's not too noticable unless you watch the ABC (But things should change). This is causing the audio to be out of sync. with Win introducing it's HD channel in the ACT), the program automattically adds the new channel/settings.Įven though it does scan the channel every time you change to each channel, it still takes around 1-2 seconds for channel changingįirstly, the card has a small issue (DVICO is hoping to resolve the issue soon) with the DXvA Video Decoder. The cards software works like a Digital Set Top Box because it scans the channels and gets the basic channel information, and then if the transport stream (I will get onto this a bit more ie. Software installation was also easy.Ĭhannel scanning took around 2 minutes at most (I didn't time it) and scanned in SC Ten (Black Mountain & Tuggeranong Hill transmitters), SBS (Weak signal from Black Mountain (understandable as it was being picked up from the backend of the UHF antenna) and strong watchable signal from Tuggeranong Hill), ABC, Win and Prime (all from Tuggeranong Hill). I had to find the right type of screw to secure it in place (I think this is an early production issue, we will see when the cards are released to the public). Installation of the card was quite simple. I have had the FusionHDTV for a few weeks now and I am going to tell you users of my experiences. My source(s) is no one other than my-self. Okay Guys, it's time for me to come clean.
