What TV PCI-e card?

[Bellerophon]

I looking to build a HTPC, running VISTA 64 on AMD 64X2.Want a compatible TV card with: -

• freeview (definitely)
  
• and maybe Satellite (although don't know what satellite actually gives me).
  
• Usable with a remote either proprietary to the card or through MCE,
• would like to watch and record
  
• and EPG/PVR
  

Don't want much!!!

This is my wish not "gonna probably be able to afford" list. I don't have much to play with in terms of cash but any suggestions more than welcome.

:worship:

Cheers in anticipation.

bump, surely someone must be able to help me with this?

C'mon TV card Gurus help me (as the over clocked chip said to the mobo) "I'm melting" , or was it the wicked witch in the Wizard of Oz.

I have a terratec 2400i, something like that lol . It's pci-express and has two digital receivers (record digital and watch digital at the same time). quality is good.. cant really compare as i have no experience with others..

the properity remote works with media centre although the layout is awful

Nice one! I had given up on this post and went out and bought one, well two one for my pc and one for my HTPC. Guess what they both are? Terratec 2400i cards. Spoooooky great minds think alike!

Have also got a new Vista Wireless MCE keyboard and remote bundle to go with them, they should be hitting the floor within the next couple of days.

Thanks for the info

good choice! they're great cards, you won't be disappointed. Also, the nvidia purevision codec works well (for video) I'd recommend using that too.

all the best
