[QUOTE="mforest, post: 357758, member: 85834"] I agree with Mike You can spend hours trying to get it working. At the end, I recommend what I did. I got a Nvida 8500GT of trademe for $40. (8500GT supports ALL HD formats with hardware decoding). If you want to play mkv h.264 movies, you also need ffmpeg and some more software. Just search the forum. (I'm using WinXP sp2 (sp3 blue screen with my nova 500HD card) and it uses about 4% cpu for TV3 with a 2.1Ghz cpu.) Another thing to watch out for is the balance between signal strength and signal quality. I had almost 100% signal strength but crap quality using a brand new high gain uhf antenna. When I switched to "bunny ears" I got 55% strength and 100% quality. Go figure... /Martin [/QUOTE]
