so yea, i know distribution in the US won't happen until January or so says the guy from Morley Digital, so i already picked up my sound card and the harddrives are on its way. I'm a bit new to this HTPC build stuff so a couple questions.
I plan to watch TV on this and I have a cablevision HD cable box. Am i able to just connect my HTPC to the cablevision box and it'll work fine or will i require some sort of special hardware like those TV Tuner cards?
Remote Recommendations? I plan on using Mediaportal so experienced users i can use some input
thanks. tell me what you guys think
