    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.
