[QUOTE="juanbond, post: 14578, member: 12660"] I'm looking to replace most of my components for my entertainment center using Media Portal. Here's what I have: Toshiba 52HM84 (52" DLP) Motorolla HDTV cable box (Comcast - St. Paul, MN) Here's what I want to do: Watch TV in HD (on HD channels obviously) Record in HD Play HD recorded programs in HD DVD HDMI™ Video Upconversion - 720p/1080i Replace Cable Box (if possible) So in other words I want my system to be an all-in-one: HD TiVO and HD Upconversion DVD player and HD Cable Box So my question is what TV tuner/Video card am I going to need? Right now I'm looking at getting the ATI ALL-IN-WONDER Radeon X800XL 256MB GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Video Card that has HDTV output on it and a TV tuner. But, does that TV tuner record in HD and views in HD? Should I just get the ATI HDTV Tuner and another All-in-Wonder that has HDTV output but no tuner? What hardware will I need. I've already built the guts of a system, now I just want to make sure that I will have the right TV Tuner/Video Card for the job. Also, I have a Logitech Harmony remote... Is it possible to use that with Media Portal? I’m really anxious to start up a system with Media Portal and any help/recommendations will help greatly! Thanks in advance! - JuanBond [/QUOTE]
