Hauppage Rig

Here are some pictures of the CentOS rig running the hauppage cards.

I have two cards connected via splitter.

The bottom connector is for the FM radio.

The cards are Hauppage HVR 2250 that have 2 recording channels each, so with this setup I can record 4 channels at the same time.

They come pretty clear on this small 1 foot wide antenna from the basement of my house

That tiny antenna got 39 solid channels.

Unfortunately the files it creates are about 6GB for an hour and took nearly 4 hours to transcode down to a 500MB file..

The passmark on this rig is about 1000

On my fast rig, it took about 15 minutes, but created a 3GB file. and the passmark is 10000.

Will try a faster CPU.
