My experience with capturing using the pcHDTV is that it uses 1.3% of CPU (azap + cat + cx88[0] dvb on an athlon64 3500). Actually watching live or captured streams does take a lot of CPU, though, especially without xvmc. --[[User:Mitchskin|Mitch]] 21:50, 14 May 2005 (CEST) |

Revision as of 22:01, 7 July 2005
As of right now there are 4 confirmed working cards.
- The PCHDTV card
- The air2pc card
- The DViCO FusionHDTV 3 GOLD-Q
- The DViCO FusionHDTV 3 GOLD-T
The air2pc seems to take some work off the processor while I have read the PCHDTV uses 80-90% on an athalon64 3000.
