Morning folks,

I'm looking to build a Windows MCE PC and could do with some pointers as to the most suitable TV card for my needs. I need a card that can interface with MCE and be able to record from a Sky box. Is there one that can actually change the channels on the Sky box? Not fussed if it's analog or digital but I guess digital would be better.

I understand it needs to have a built in hardware encoder/decoder (like MPEG2) in order to be able to pause live TV, which I'd like to have :cool:

Would a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR 500 do the trick? I like the idea of twin tuners :cool:

cheers

Matt
