[QUOTE="Creamfilling, post: 1043985, member: 108301"] 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 [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815116028[/url] 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 [/QUOTE]
