need a compatible additional TV tuner

[Cathy]

Have a sony VGC VA1 which only comes with 1 TV tuner which means you have to
watch what you are recording(pointless) need a device so i can watch 1
channel buit record another. have tried a hauppage product.(huge noises came
from it after install so returned it to company) now trying a Pinnacle dazzle
stick which seems to want to change my realtek device to one of its own. this
then interferes with the correct operation of my Windows media centre. Any
one had a similar experience and /or know how to get round this??

2 recorders running at the same time ???Not sure thats possible,chk task mgr
performance when just using 1,youre CPU usage is probably about maxed out,
2 would kill windows with a pc restart.Maybe youre pc can,either way,the
trick
to video capture,install the video adapter but only install its drivers for
the card,
no software..For software,install WM encoder & its utilities,the WMCAP
utility
lets you view w/o recording,set the encoder to "capture audio/video",it to
lets
you view w/o recording.To download,go
