TV Card XP/Media Center

[DazedNFuzed]

Looking to purchase a TV card up to £100 (or there abouts) i have Xp Pro installed at the Mo but do have Media center if needed, would love to be able to record whilst watching other channels, also i have 20" NEC Wide screen monitor would this affect any thing?

If i installed Media center would that affect any applications of drivers, or are they same as Xp drivers?


As always i would love some feedback on this please people

I was contemplating this bad boy

Hauppauge WinTV PVR-500 Media Centre Edition Dual TV Tuner (GX-028-HA)

only other thing that would concern me is space, I'm already short on slots due to my crossfire MB, i have one free PCI slot and one Free PCI-Express slot, the PCi slot is between a audigy 2 sound card and a x1900xt that i may be changing fan on.

Yeah i was interested in the free view channels.

I have herd alto of bad reviews regarding the Terratec 2400i DT? But the PCIE slot is very appealing, and may save me having to purchase new MB.
