hi,
this is my first post so forgive me if its a stupid question.
I am looking to buy the hardware to make miy PC into a PVR.
A friend has a PVR-350 with MVP which he says is fantastic. But I read that you cannot play DVDs on the PC and watch them on TV, which is a bit of a pain (maybe this functionality will be available one day?).
So I was wondering what the dream setup is. I was planning the PVR350 for TV in, but I'm unsure about output to TV.
The Sigma X Card gets good reviews. But does GBPVR let you work on your PC whilst the XCard displays the GBPVR interface? I have only used TV out cards that output the desktop and they are BAD!
So what's the best; XCard, PVR-350 or MVP?
thanks a lot
