My PVR connections:


Actually, that's how I used to have it and it worked good. But I'm getting better picture quality by using a DVI cable to connect the PC to the TV.

Here's my future set-up, feel free to make any recommendations. I plan to be a regular around here!

Motherboard Asus A7N8X
CPU AMD 1800+
Floppy Basic
CD-ROM Basic
Case Basic
Power Supply 350W
RAM 512mb
Video Card Hauppauge WINTV-PVR-150
Hard Drive 250gig

Thanks for your help in advance!

You've already gotten some good advice, but here's another data point:

My media server:

MB: A7N8X-E Deluxe
CPU: Athlon XP 3000+ Barton 512MB cache
RAM: 512MB Dual Channel DDR (I need to upgrade to 1GB...someday)
Case: Tower with two 90mm fans - one in and one out
Power Supply: Antec 400W (Whoever said a good power supply is essential is correct!)
Hard Drives: Two Seagate Barracuda 7200 160GB (Parallel ATA, one is boot/system/apps. The other is a dedicated video capture drive.)
Video Card: Nvidia Geforce 4 MX440 w/ Video Out (Good enough for what I do.)
Media I/O: a Benq DVD +/- R/W 8x single-layer (getting old now), a floppy, a 20-in-1 USB media card reader
TV Tuner: Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-250 (the PVR-150 didn't exist when I bought mine)
Operating System: Windows 2k Pro w/ SP4
Burner software: Nero 6 Ultra (haven't upgraded to 7 yet)

Been using this combo for well over a year now and recording lots of TV shows, sports, etc. I edit, burn, etc. using Nero and have no problems watching my DVDs on several different players (Philips, Coby, Lenoxx, etc.)

Recently, I got a MediaMVP and am really loving it with GB-PVR.
