Um... then maybe isn't as important as I thinked... at my city only 6-8 channels arrive by analog signal, and 25+ for digital, and some of the analog channels can be turned at dvb system aswell... maybe is not necesary the +30€ inversion on the hardware encoder... I must think about it...
Thanks for help.

the USB tuners don't re-initialise quick enough for MP when coming back on from standy/hibernate.
this means that you would need to close MP and then re-open it again for the tuner cards to kick in again.

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...

My question is: what case should I buy? Most mATX cases...

I'm don't know that particular motherboard firsthand, but what i noticed on the picture is that the power connecter (20 or 24pin, cant tell) may be hard to reach depending on your CPU fan (I havent seen that one).

There is absolutely no chance you'll play 720p Xvid on that chip, probably not any HD at all. Your best HD chance is a post 6600 Geforce card and CoreAVC/NVIDIA Pure Video. They'll both use the GPU to decode and hence might make up the processing shortfall
