Record two shows, or watch one and record another!

bygbaughma Oct 11, 2006

Pros Easy to install, excellent picture quality, DUAL TUNERS!
Cons Don't use with a set-top cable tuner; you're wasting features.
Recommended it? Yes

When I was building my Media Center PC (see my other posts about other parts of the project), I started off with an ATI All-In-Wonder card as my TV tuner.

I soon started shopping around for a better TV tuner. "All-in-one" cards are nice for general use, but I really wanted something with... Read full review »

Hauppauge! 1081 WinTV-PVR 500 MCE is not just for MCE

byjohn-k Aug 3, 2005

Pros Record two TV shows at once, Two additional A/V headers.
Cons Does not come with a MCE Remote. 3rd party TV software in XP Home/Pro.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the Hauppauge! 1081 WinTV-PVR 500 MCE White box to run with XP Pro. Digitally Unique gave me a good deal on this card. While it is designed to work with XP MCE 2005, it does work well in XP Pro. You do need to buy a 3rd party TV Software (I am using BeyondTV)for it to run in Pro. I bought... Read full review »

HD-PVR 1212

Pros Good Value, Easy to Use
Cons None submitted
Recommended it? Yes

It connects to computer through USB slot thus it is easy to interface. However, I had a little problem with the format in which it stores the files. But once you get the hang of it, this won't be too difficult. Otherwise, picture quality is good. Read full review »
