Hello,
I am very new to the HTPC field and am planning on building my first system pretty soon. I am thinking of getting the Hauppauge 500 for it's dual tuner capabilities but I am see'ing a lot of people using dual 150's. What is the reason for this?
Also, I only have basic, non-box cable right now so I understand that the system will work fine, what happens if I upgrade to digital cable. Do I need different hardware to watch tv through my HTPC? Is it just different software?
Thank you all for your help.
Ian.
