[QUOTE="Acolyte57, post: 56673, member: 21015"] Hey all, I've just installed MediaPortal and I'm very satisfied with it's functioning so far, I use it mainly for music playback and video file playback. But I'm intrigued: My parents have an MCE based HTPC and the TV function rocks there. So I want to try that too. I've been looking around for a tv card with hardware mpeg2 encoding and the cheapest I've found is the Aopen VA2000-P179. I saw the Aopen on the supported list but can't find any reference to it in the forums, except for one person experiencing problems with his VA2000N - apparently a different card, since he complains about the NVTV chipset but AOpen's site says it has a LSI MPEG2 Enc chip. So can anyone tell me if they're using the VA2000 and how well it functions in their setup? It's the cheapest, but it's still a lot of money to blow on just a test :) [/QUOTE]
