[QUOTE="WileECoyote, post: 425056, member: 83474"] Hi Peter, I live in Cary, NC so I cant say much specific to Houston, but... Most cities in the US are very similar as far as off-air, cable offerings. We also have DirecTV, Dish Network and other satellite companies. In order to be more specific, could you answer a few questions? - Are you looking for SD or HD offerings? - Are you looking for mostly off-air or a cable/satellite service? (or a mix of both) If you are looking for HD in the US, you can either get an off-air HD card to get the local channels in HD, or you can get an HD-PVR to capture the component signals from a cable/satellite box. As far as my media server goes, I wanted as many HD channels as I could from my service provider. I have multiple Directv Receivers hooked to Hauppauge HD-PVR units. I have serial cables from my media server to the Directv boxes for channel changes. I use Schedules Direct for my guide information, and the Schedules Direct plugin in MP. Wile E. [/QUOTE]
