Hi guys,

would like it to be mce compliant but as long as it will work with it im happy

dosnt need to include a remote as have all that already.

Not sure on a low profile PCI TV card but if you can't find one then look at a USB stick DVB T stick.

I've got a Freecom one and it works flawlessly with Windows MCE, providing you use BDA drivers.

OCUK have a few USB Tuners of its website and if it states compatability with MCE then you know the drivers are BDA.

never used the usb versions, uis the picture and capture quality as good? I take it they dont do hardware coding and so rely on the processor?

Encoding is software based so done on the CPU rather than the Tuners hardware.

Heres a quick capture from a live broadcast I done a few minutes ago for you:

what sort of spec would be needed to record happily? also do the usb versions suppoert widescreen and nicam sound?
