TV Recording Requirements

MagicSports analyzes and outputs, but does not record, TV sports programs. If you don't already have your favorite sports programs stored on your PC, you will need to record them from your TV service. A simple way to do this is by using TV recording software such as PowerCinema. You will also need a TV tuner card to record your programs. Tuner card options are below:

TV Tuner Card

CyberLink’s bundled hybrid TV tuner card has been tested and is recommended for use with PowerCinema 5
