As above really, don't have a clue what I'm doing
I'm planning on building a media pc for the family to go with a new tv
Aiming to replace the current HDD recorder they use
Current spec:
Some media case (looking at silverstone lascsala since it seems to be the cheapest which supports full atx boards)
msi 790 platinum
e4300
4gb ddr2
750gb WD HDD
Some tv card?
Looking to be able to record one channel while watching another, preferably record two while watching another.
We have digital tv and freeview, no sky etc and obviously analogue has been stopped in the UK.
Looking for both recommendations to cards, and to whether this is the best way to go about it?
Am looking to replace the black box, be able to watch iplayer on the tv, be able to save recorded files with actual names rather than just a number and a date which it is at the moment etc
