Pixelfill Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Any of the Hauppauge PVR series should be exactly what you are looking for. I have the PVR-350 in mine and it works well. Although I think I read that the PVR-150 has been designed for Media Centre to allow you to have 2 cards in the same machine (twin tuners) you should be able to get one fairly cheap from Scan Edit: to say that you'll need some DVD decoder software for Media Centre to record, I've got the Nvidia Platinum package, which includes DTS decoding for Audio. The basic package is enough to do Media centre recording, and the Gold will decode Dolby as well. These are also available from Scan, but might be cheaper direct from Nvidia.

Pixelfill Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Jon, The media center (sic) remote controls the media center application, so in the same way as you could control a TV tuner with a mouse or keyboard from within media center, you can control it with a remote. in short. Yes the remote will control the tv tuner. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
