hi guys!

as title states, i am a beginner and this wicked forum has answered loads of questions already!

right, so to start off...i recently bought a shuttle SN95G5 with the intention of using it with my plasma to view and record sky and also to use as a wifi server so i can stream media from my main pc to it. havent got the componenets yet but so far:

AMD 64 3000+
1GB ram
250gb Sata HD

and er...thats it!

so to complete it, i need a tv card and graphics card?
im thinking of getting a 6600GT and the Hauppauge WinTV PVR 150 MCE as this seems quite popular. but would the two combined be good enough?

am i right in sayin that with this setup i can only record programs whilst watching it or with the tv off? so if i was to change channels then it would start recording that channel?

and lastly is there anything else i need to make this work?

really sorry if this has all been answer but any help would b much appreciated!
