Do you mean 233 as in 233mhz ? From memory you need at least 800mhz to have
enough cpu muscle to record a program. I have run it on 1200mhz ok with
single tuner Nova-t.

I have also used
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-2200 at work.
This allows both analogue and freeview recording. I am just looking into
buying one of these for home(Wife permitting) so that I can use the analogue
ports for archiving my sky+ recordings.
