[QUOTE="carthol, post: 159053, member: 52877"] From the start you said you haven't yet selected a USB TV Tuner Card. Figured that out yet? Have you seen any good HDTV USB tuners. I'm actually trying to set up a almost identical system. Though the one requirement I haven't been able to solve yet was the HDTV tuner. I'm actually basing my system on an older 17inch Dell, but the GF6800 in it should cover the graphics power requirements. Right now I use the laptop (using MP) to do everything except watch TV (I do all my movies and such). But it would be amazing to be able to get the same quality I get inherently from my Settop Box. Instead of the 42", I'm using a HD projector, with Component/VGA input. So, one input is my HDTV and one is my computer. I'm actually considering selling the laptop and building the system from scratch as a HTPC. But that seems ridiculous to me that I can't get this one last piece of functionality to work well. Anyway, any thoughts on this problem would be great!! [/QUOTE]
