Well, after trying a couple different TV cards (ATi 650 & pinnacle PCTV HD PCi) and the cards are great but the software STILL leaves something to be desired.
If you want to run MediaPortal, stick to the compatible cards list.

Sorry to have written in Dutch. It happens because of switching between forums. Is this a good place to ask how to realise a good ground connection between the 3 machines?

I belive that a STB can never do 1:1 pixelmapping (like you can - depending on TV - do with a PC) for 720P or SD-material. Thre reason is that 720p is 1280x720, while a "HD-ready" TV outputs 1366x768 (= 1 MP), and SD @ Hd can never be 1:1 pixelmapped. (Some LCD's are actually real 720p - but only very few and old).

Hey All,

Thing is, to this day...
Interesting, i'm considering the CW03 for the same reason, but it is a bit bulky.
checking it now.. space for only 2 HDD. I already have 2x1TB and i may need to add a third soon.

I was thinking about it not starting up in time, might be a problem, and might not.
I guess it might benefit me more than others, because I plan on having other programs running in the background, such as a bittorrent client. I'm also going to have several other programs running so that I can connect to it from work, and if my...

Sorry, just noticed the question now.
That card is four tuners. two digital and two analog. you can use any combination of two at the same time. 2xD OR 2xA or 1D and 1A.
I don't use the analog side of this card so can't comment on that though.

After playing around with this setup a couple of weeks, I must say that I am a happy with it except for the driver/skin-bugs with all integrated X1250 boards.

was that a 7050 version or 7025? the 7050 is about the very best you can get for on board graphics.
Check out reviews for other manufacturers. I know AsRock has one that is very cheap. Normally I'd stay away from that brand (Asus' budget version) but their 7050 seemed to have all the right features too.

Has anyone tried this card?
Hauppauge WinTV HVR3000 - PCI Tri-Mode TV Card
It seems to be similar to the 1300 but with an additional DVB-S input. The thing is that this card is actually cheaper to buy than the 1300 so I'd rather have that, especially with the digital satellite input.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I don't know what choice to make between :
- Hauppauge HVR1300 MCE
- Pinnacle Hybrid Pro PCI
Any advice ? Thanks
anyone??
it seems to be a popular hardware choice for satellite paytv..
can anyone either in the US or in Australia let me know where you got yours from.
UPDATE: actually i found where you can get the firedttv in Australia but at $400 a bit steep..
I would rather get the floppyDTV instead its about 1.2 the price and more...

Yeah, I saw the Blu Ray post. Catch is - it's still almost $1000. (Probably because it's a BR recorder. I couldn't find just a player in my searches.) But the important thing is that it IS available, and you did say "be prepared for HD". Maybe it'll come down a bit in a year or two...

Did anybody know can I use a new TerraTec Cinergy CI USB device with my TerraTec 2400 card in Mediaport?
Snapshot general info say, ci / cam support for firedtv, twinhan and technotrend. That means i can't use the TerraTec CI device in MP?

I asked if the Startup Message "Welcome To HTPC" could be used instead of the time when not in use.
Maybe more people would be interested in having a fixed message on the VFD when the PC is in standby?

I've recently been getting excited about building a HTPC and was going to start trying to learn linux to build a Myth box but then I found this site while reading through there forum and this is 1000 times better then Myth I think.

This looks more like an HTPC in its own right - unless the case / VFD is available separately? Can't see any link to that - any ideas?
All I'm looking for is an enclosure to house my optical drive and a few USB connections / card reader.
There will be no motherboard / Processor / Graphics ability in it - this all remains in the...
