[QUOTE="milhouse, post: 1238057, member: 26653"] Can't speak to the AverTV, but that Colossus I can confirm works. Had one several years ago to capture from a settop box before I switched to a cablecard tuner. Can I assume the 2250 is the only thing being used for OTA TV capture? I've got one of those, works great with MP. And the Colossus is strictly for VCR capture? Should work fine. It's a pain if you are trying to use for settop box capture. Then you have to deal with IR transmitters and stuff like that. Everything else - wow, that's a lot of hardware to throw at an HTPC. Even HD video doesn't take much to run smoothly, until you get to h.265 and 4k. Then you need more power. I have very small computers I use - 5 year old Zotac Nanos are plenty, and using onboard video. milhouse [/QUOTE]
