[QUOTE="FlipGer, post: 15613, member: 10293"] Hi Hungarian, i think this is the right forum. :) Do you have digital cable or analog? For analog Hauppauge PVR! (the one and only) - PVR 500, if you want two tuners (watching and recording) and radio - PVR 350, if you want one tuner and radio - PVR 150 / 250 if you only want TV For digital: ??? ;) What graphics card do you have? I would recommend a DX9 compatible card, since MP uses DirectX like a game. Soundcard, hmm i have the Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS and i am very pleased (THX certified) you may look out for Audigy 4. (But soundcard question is somewhat religious ;)) Your TV screen might be the best choice as monitor. (I have connected my HTPC only to TV). Depends on a good TV out on the graphics card. Everything just my 2 cents. There may be other (better) recommendations. :) Flip. [/QUOTE]
