</div>As long as you are only dealing with one HDTV channel at a time what<br>
you list should be okay.<br>
<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>

<br>
</div>Well, a new mobo+cpu+ram+video card will set you back $200+ . I would<br>
be making sure your current set-up is unable to do what you want<br>
before spending $.<br>

</div>I have heard many nice things said about the HDHomerun. I am currently<br>
using a pcHDTV-5500 card, which has analog issues, but does a nice job<br>
on over the air digital TV (at least from where I am in mid-town<br>
Toronto).<br>
<div class="Ih2E3d"></div></blockquote><div><br>I think I was asking about whether or not to upgrade my HW because getting a new HVR-xxxx card would mean PCI Express, and my current mobo does <b>not </b>have PCIE, hence the need for an upgrade and if so, back to the questions above..<br>
<br>Colin, what do you use for HD? I'm seeing this: <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php?title=Hauppauge_HD-PVR">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php?title=Hauppauge_HD-PVR</a> and thinking I might stick with another 150 for now and wait for that to be final in a .22 release or so...<br>
