I'm trying to decide on a capture card to use with media portal. I've narrowed it down to either the Hauppauge PVR 150 of PVR 250. The 150 is slightly cheaper, but if the 250 is better I'd go for that. Any opinions on which of the 2 is the better choise, or if there's a similar priced and better card from a different manufacturer...

Hello everyone,
I am interested in getting a AV receiver to drive my sound from my HTPC to my speakers, however I really don't want to have to control it via an IR blaster from the HTPC. This, in my hands, is really slow and subject to failures (IR signal isn't just right, cat moves the blaster, dust leads to poor signal etc.)...

I am thinking about getting a REALmagic Xcard. Is anyone using one of these? If so, do you need to convert from the dvr-ms format? I understand that the dvr-ms file is just a mpeg2 format with MS wrapper, but I dont know if Xcard driver/codec has issues with it.

Really good motherboard feature for HTPC.
You can plug your bluray or playstation directly into the HTPC!
I think the cheapest board with HDMI input switching / passthrough is ASRock Z87-Pro4

Looks like it costs about $105 USD after rebate...

Quick question(s). I currently have a LifeView DVB-T Duo which has DVB-T and Analogue tuners. The digital tuner works perfectly within Mediaportal. It can, alledgedly, take the input from an analogue source (i.e. my Sky TV receiver) but I have never managed to get it working reliably within Mediaportal. Does anyone...
