I am new to MediaPortal and am busy getting mine setup. I need to get a TV card for my PC.

Anyone have an idea of some TV cards I could use? I havea digi widescreen/flatscreen telly and a Sky decoder.

    If you are just going to use your Sky STB then a Hauppauge PVR-150/350/500 card would be fine (and is well suported in MP).

    or you could get a DVB-S card with a Dragon CAM and use you Sky supscription card drivectly in your MP box. have a search about, there is some infomation about this out there. Also have a look for FirDTV and FloppyDTV

    hope this helps :)
