[QUOTE="gurabli, post: 642953, member: 105904"] Yes, I'm aware of PCI being old and replaced by PCIe, but in case of DVB-C, there is no need for a PCIe card, and I intend to use this HTPC for a quite a long time without changing anything. I don't think that DVB-C standard would change for a long time (so the PCI card would be still usable), and the MB+CPU I chose is also more than enough for the upcoming years - assuming that h264 standard remains the same. But yes, you are right, we should use the new one when possible. Actually, the only thing I would prefer the PCI version over the USB is that PCI has an out for antenna, and I have everything packed into the case, while the USB stick would be plugged in at the back of the HTPC (not that this would matter a lot...).
