[QUOTE="WelshTom, post: 14972, member: 12799"] Hi there, I'm just in the middle of building my HTPC which I plan to run MediaPortal on and need to now decide on a TV card. I was originally going to use an ati 8500DV AIW card that I have lying around but having read a few thing I reaslise that this is not the best of ideas! So then I started looking around and found that the most popular ones were the PVR-150 / 250. Then I came accross this [url=http://techreport.com/reviews/2005q2/tuner-comparo/index.x?pg=1]review[/url] which says that the nVidia NVTV card gives a better picture quality and is cheaper. A quick look at the compatability table to see that the card is there so I thought great, we'll have one of them. Then I found this [url=http://www.anandtech.com/printarticle.aspx?i=2393] review[/url] that gave it last place in this test(though they tested the twin tuner version). So does anyone out there have any experience with this card? Is it any good, or would I be better saving a little more and buying a PVR-150/250? If so which one should I go for? Thanks in advance for any help :lol: [/QUOTE]
