Hi
I am about to bite the bullet and buy some hardware and would like a guiding hand ! I am hoping to get a Hauppauge Nova-T 90002 (PCI) and a Hauppauge MediaMVP for output to conventional CRT TV. The PC will be at one end of our (long) living room and the MediaMVP near the TV, connected by 100 Mbit Ethernet router/switch. I am hoping to use the PC as a PVR and to stream DIvx/Xvid .avi's and Mpegs. If anyone has any general recommendations I would be happy to listen, I would also like to know do I need a dual tuner card for pause and rewind of TV ? Is there more hardware I need ? I have digital cable as well, can I use that as a source or should I stick to Freeview ? Do I use the MediaMVP remote only ?
TIA
