While switching channels, an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) provides information such as the title of the current and next show. The EPG can be configured to display the shows of only one station, or of all current broadcasts in "What's on now?/next?". Many other options are also available such as: sortable channel listings, a program schedule, timer programming, and a list of pre-recorded shows. Commercials can be removed from pre-recorded shows using the cutting functions.My personal tip is the new Mystique SaTiX-S2 Sky , a PCI card, DVB-S2 (HDTV, MPEG4), which seamless integrates into SuSe (my version 11.1) and VDR system (with VDPAU). Also tested in Windows Media Center, W7, 64Bit ... direct integration.

I have a question about its integration with WHS. Is the primary advantage of having the tuner card in you whs machine that it is (mostly) always on? I have an hp mediasmart 490, which doesn't allow for a new internal card, and I'm not thrilled with stick tuner options. If I have the tuner in a networked desktop, can I still leverage the advantages of whs and dvblink when using it with wmc and an htpc?Thanks, matt I’ve been following dvblink for a little while, and it appears to be game changing software.
