[QUOTE="darthbader, post: 28338, member: 17001"] I am thinking of switching from Comcast to DirecTV. I am not sure about making the switch because of some of the challenges with satallite and media portal. I was hoping someone out there with experience using Media Portal with directv could offer some advice. The reason I am thinking of switching is becuase of the lack of HD channels available through comcast not to mention that the reception on the HD channels have lines running through and the non HD channels are not clear. Also I have had my Box changed by comcast 4 times in less than 2 years because they keep breaking. My equipment set up for my gameroom is set up below. I have 1 Phillips HDTV in my Game room with xbox and xbox 360 hooked up to it. I have a PC running windows xp Professional with Media Portal and 2 TV tuners for recording live TV. I have a Hauppage PVR 150Tuner and an ATI E-Home Wonder Tuner in my PC. I currently have the PC hooked up to the HDTV through HDMI and I play back the recorded tv from the pc back to the Television. PC specs: 3.0 Ghz P4 800 FSB NVidia Gforce 4 with 256mb video ram Soundblaster Audigy 2 1024 MB PC 3200 Ram Hauppage Win-TV PVR 150 ATI E-Home Wonder VE Asus Motherboard P4P8x [/QUOTE]
