[QUOTE="karimkb, post: 85806, member: 26066"] So when i connect the SVideo OUT from the Satellite to the Tuner card, that would still be considered analog right? I guess for my situation I would just need the single tuner card with the SVideo In (the PVR-150 as you suggested)...now, would connecting to the svideo port actually be considered as using the tuner? Or can I still use the Coaxial input on the card? Also, with this setup, would i be able to record from the OTA card and be watching satellite and vice versa? The next question I have is how to integrate both the OTA channels and the Satellite Channels....does MediaPortal do that? Would I be able to view a list of channels (both OTA and Satellite svideo connection) and then choose what i want to watch and record? This part is a little confusing as to how that'll be handled, but maybe I wont understand till i actually try it myself. Also, I know as far as the remote goes, I wont be able to control the satellite box unless i have a serial connection going to the back of the box (or a serial to phone line connection, im vague on that but i'll figure that out later), that doesnt concern me right now....but this is what i was getting to: Basically this is the exact same setup as it would be if I was connecting the SVideo to the TV itself, except now Im just going thru the tuner card so I can record whats coming in correct? I'll be seeing the exact same thing on the tv (the same Satellite Guide, menus etc) that I was before, but all the recording etc will be taking place thru MediaPortal... Sorry for so many questions...i just wanna be sure before I buy the card as to what exactly the setup would be, i like knowing how its gonna work b4 i try to get it to work ;) edit: also, all this would work fine under XP Pro right...i dont need windows MCE?
