[QUOTE="marco75, post: 610004, member: 79337"] I have done a little bit of research, and looked at various online reviews for DVB-T capture cards, but so far, they all have show-stopper bugs, or they cost hundreds of dollars with features I don't want (such as analog capture or FM radio) I don't want to spend more than $100 for single tuner. USB TV sticks -- Compro VideoMate series ======= Include MCE compatible remote: Vista U2800F - hybrid, 1080i HDTV Vista U100 - digital, 1080i HDTV, S4/S3 scheduled recording Include Compro remote: (compatible with Media Portal?)
