[QUOTE="Tech Geek, post: 62877, member: 18181"] 1. Yes 2. There are no legal options I'm aware of for Dish or DirecTV. 3. PCIe or PCI? If you have PCIe slots: $65 after rebate [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815117802[/url] Actually as good as you can find and for little more than a decent (not crap) software tuner. The video capture from the SVideo is very good. The only PCIe option. PCI versions are $69 without rebate. The Happauge 150 are very good as well, no PCIe version. It's slightly cheaper for PCI. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815116633[/url] I think in high quality mode the ATi 550 based cards (the first 2) have a slight advantage with some video sources but you may not even notice since your planning on using satellite output. 4. Your Celeron should be fine. [/QUOTE]
