I have been using MP for about 4 years on my HTPC but I have used it only as a Blu-Ray jukebox.
Recently I setup an HTPC for some relatives and in their house and they do not subscribe to any cable/sat providers. They currently just use an HD TV antenna to bring channels in. Well I thought it would be nice to help them setup the TV stuff and buy a tv tuner for the HTPC so that they could record tv.
Here is the TV tuner that I am looking at getting them

So my questions:
1. I am assuming this card will work well with MP? I know it is a single tuner but that is fine, they will only use it to record, not for live TV.
2. Will I be able to use this card to record TV? Or do I need a TV DVR card?
3. How much space does recording take up for HD content? I was planning to split one of the HD partitions and giving them 400gig. That plenty?
Thank you very much in advance
