I have the following hardware: Chaintech 7NJS Zenith AMD Athlon xp 1800+ Chaintech Geforce FX 5700 ultra 128 mb NEC DVD-RW ND4551A 1 gig ram Around 100 gig HD total on 2 WD disks, and 1 on 320 gig WD that is not mounted.

I must have a TV card to, must be able to watch and record something else at the same time. Is Hauppauge a good card? I don't have so much money now, just bought a new nice LCD TV :) If I had some extra money now, I would bought a complete new HTPC. Regards Frank [/QUOTE]
