    Hi meggsico, and welcome to the forum :)
    I'd recommend that you get a card with hardware encoding capabilities.

    Reasons:
    - Will not chew your CPU (--> lower noise)
    - Will work well with MP (as all hardware encoding cards are supported)

    They bad side is that they are a bit more expensive. I have the Hauppauge PVR-150, and most who have are happy with it.

    I also have never used a set-top box with MP, but I think that you need to use an IR emitter (aka "IR blaster"). The IRSS software controls the emitter, and transmits IR signals under the direction of MP. The IR signal is received by the IR receiver within the set-top box, and so can be used to change channel and so on. The set-top...
