Well, now that I no longer have cable, my trusty Hauppage PVR500 can no longer service me. I need to find a new tuner card (preferably dual-tuner) that will allow me to recieve over-the-air (OTA) DIGITAL standard and high-def broadcasts in the US. After reviewing Hauppage's offerings, I've found the Hauppage HVR-1600 tuner. However, I'm not 100% sure it will work for me with the OTA digital broadcasts in the US. I'll be the first to admit that I am not up to snuff on current TV standards, and what card can do what. Will this card work for digital OTA HD in the USA, and will it work with MediaPortal and TV-Server? I'm guessing/hoping yes to both, but I'd rather get a tad bit of confirmation before spending my hard-earned cash. Also, as a side note, will I be able to use the OTA program guide for guide data in MP? Thanks for any and all help. Here's links to the product description of the card:
