What I'm Using NOW:
HP Laptop + analog express card tuner with an IR blaster (nice package, but I have to unhook it every day >_<)
Cable Box (Scientific Atlanta Explorer 3200) - doesn't get HD, but gets all the digital channels
What I Want to Move To:
ITX rig - P4 2.8, 256mb DDR333, Radeon 9600XT, XP Pro + MediaPortal (no other software)
Cable Box
Coax input - gets the networks in HD
What would be an ideal card for this setup? I don't want to spend a whole lot, and I don't really care about FM tuning or other fancy features beyond the input. All that really matters is the HD support and good quality on S-Video. I use the S-Video input more at the moment, but if we switch cable providers or something, I want the digital HD support. And of course, it must be supported by MediaPortal.
