If you have not planned to do HDTV, then these processors are overkill. I
use an AMD 1800+, which uses around 25% of its CPU when decoding to a
GeForce4 MX440.

If you want to record two shows at a time or if you want to watch live tv
while recording a second, then you need two TV cards. Otherwise you only
need one (I have only one).
