I also have Austar at home and want to be able to record to it, listed below are the specs of the HTPC atm, all parts i got second for free so its an alright base pc :) I will upgrade to a SATA controller and 750Gb SATA II drive when money is available :) SPECS CPU - 2.6GHz P4 800mhz FSB RAM - 1Gb DDR PC3200 HDD - 1 x 40Gb IDE 7200 - 1 x 120Gb IDE 7200 VIDEO - Nvidia GeForce FX5500 AGP (Output SVID to RCA) AUDIO - Onboard AC97 OPTICAL - 16 x DVDROM What i wanted to get peoples input on was the TV Tuner Card to use and Wireless KB / Remote. I was thinking of using a WinFast DTV2000 H as it has Digital TV, FM Radio and input to record austar (what sort of software would i need to record austar with?) Also i was going to get a windows media centre kb / remote package, would this work well with media portal? Hope some can help me :) Cheers Iain [/QUOTE]
