[QUOTE="zoddy, post: 409453, member: 90964"] I'm in the process of planning my first HTPC and my primary goal is to be able to record Foxtel and one or two Digtal FTA channels at the same time plus being able to play BluRay originals which I understand is also possible using AnyDVD or PowerDVD or a plugin.. Not a great hassle if I have to launch a third-party application. Reading this link: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/completed-htpc-projects-61/mp-hvr-1300-foxtel-digital-aus-24042/[/url] it definately sounds possible using MediaPortal but I am having trouble finding a 1300 card for a reasonable price. Would a 2200 do the same job, given I can easily find this card as I also believe the 2200 has an S-Video input also? The rest of the hardware I am currently considering is as follows: [LIST] [*]AMD 4850e CPU [*]Asus M3N78-EM Motherboard [*]4gb DDR2 800 Ram[I] - I had this left over from a recent upgrade to my 'gaming machine'[/I] [*]Lian Li Black PC-C37B Case [*]LG GGC-H20L Black Blu-Ray Optical Drive [/LIST] I'd also appreciate any feedback on the hardware if you have it.
