Please select the TV Card you would like.

Freeview:

The dual Freeview card option will give you the option to record one channel while watching another. Or simply just record two channels at once. This option requires that you have areal equipment capable of receiving the Freeview signal.

FreeSat:

The dual FreeSat card option will give you the option to record one channel while watching another. Or simply just record two channels at once. This option requires that you have satellite equipment capable of receiving the FreeSat signal. To receive two FreeSat channels you require a satellite dish with a dual LBN or two satellite dishes.

Please be aware if you intend to display FreeSat in 1080p then its highly recomended you buy a Media PC with a seperate Graphics Card. The mpc2000 range is only capable of displaying FreeSat in 720p or lower quality as it can not have a seperate Graphics Card due to the size of the systems.

SKY:

To connect Sky you'll need an analogue tv tuner card such as the Hauppauge MCE150 to handle the conversion to MPEG. You'll then need to connect the composite video and the stereo output from the Sky box to the input on the MCE 150. Once you've done that you can get MCE to scan for services, it should find the signal on the composite input and you can then set the EPG to Sky.

You'll need to attach the IR Blaster that comes with the MCE remote to the front of your Sky box so MCE can change channels. To have Sky+ type functionality, record one channel while watching anoter you'll need two Sky boxes which means another Sky box and a Multi-Room subscription which duplicates your existing subscription to another box.

Please select the Hard Drive storage capacity you would like.

All the Hard Drives are manufactured by Western Digital and we only use the most quiet and power efficient Caviar Green Power models in our systems.
