Like a bunch of you, I've built my mythbox (combined frontend/backend)<br>
on one of those spiffy little M2N mobos with onboard GeForce 6150 video.<br>
Catch is, it has only two PCI slots, both of which are occupied with<br>
NTSC cards. Networking is on the mobo, but there's a 35' long CAT5<br>
cable trailing out the family room, across the dining room and into the<br>
office, which the wife has decreed must go. I have a wireless adapter<br>
but no PCI slot for it. So I figured, why not get newfangled PCI<br>
Express analog/digital tuner cards and be ready for the dreaded Feb 19<br>
cutover? So, my question - anyone have any hands-on with the latest<br>
round of PCIe tuner/capture cards?<br>
