once you get a PVR500MCE, you'll wonder how you could ever use any other analog tuner card. The dual tuners are the greatst thing in the world, especially when PCI slots are becoming scare in new computers. Also, the card has dual hardware MPEG encoders, so you can record 2 shows simultaneouslly with vitually no load on the CPU. It...

Been reading up on the Pundits for a friend of mine. Don't remember all but I concluded that you are far better of buying a Antec NSK2400 and a standalone AM2-mobo (mATX) - same price (here, anyway).

But they are closed systems and even though they only use one CAM, they are usually PVR boxes so have additional rental/subscription fees from the provider (Sky satelite in the UK for example).

Can you say me how to "tel" MP how take commands throught S-Presso's remote?
And by touch screen?
Have you a modified *.xml for this?
Thank you for your reply.

A lot of Nvidia 7600GS cards have a heat pipe sollution and have enough power for a htpc. There are also passive 7600GT cards with a passive heatpipe sollution but they run much hotter.
I would sugest a samsung DVD burner with sata connection for better airflow.
You can use a drive speed tool to make the drive silent.

Hello,
I was wondering if I can use Hauppauge PVR500 with MP in the case of a single STB. The reason I am asking is simple - now I have PVR150, but want to be able to watch and record at the same time. However, I have only one digital cable STB, so I will have to use it's output as a source for one of the tuners (channels 3-400's)...
