[QUOTE="carluman, post: 74471, member: 24522"] I'm thinking about building a HTPC to replace my VCR and DVD player. Basically I'd like to avoid buying a TV tuner card if I don't really need it. Info to answer question below. The parts I'm thinking about using are... Mobo with GeForce 6100 chipset 512MB Dual-channel DDR2 AMD Athlon 64 3000+ AM2 processor 250gb Samsung Sata HD DIAMOND XtremeSound XS71DDL 7.1 optical in and out. HIS Hightech HX80GTOQT256GVN Radeon X800GTO 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card with VIVO Audio will be optical from the PC to my audio receiver. I should be able to play a DVD in the DVD drive of the PC and run that through the video card to my TV via the HD out on the video card. Right? So now my question is can I run the video out from my dishnetwork box to my the video in of the video card to record the shows I want? Again, basically I'd like to avoid buying a TV tuner card if I don't really need it. :thx: For the help in advance [/QUOTE]
