Hi Gang, I'm putting an PII/300 to work in the living room doing various firewall, terminal, and MP3 type things. I'd like to turn it into a PVR as well. I don't care about time shifting, just basic VCR type functionality (but it'll be more fun :). It'll have a big disk so hopefully I won't need hardware assisted encoding. Basic question not yet answered after a few weeks of lurking: Am I better off with a product like ATI's all-in-wonder type cards, or with a separate capture/tuner (Hauppauge WinTV-PCI) and TV Out (Nvidia GE2 MX-400) combo? I don't have a ton of home entertainment equipment so ideally I'd be able to take coax in and have coax out. I realize this is a bit unrealistic... my DSS box has Svideo in... Thanks, -- Greg Bell 858-860-6519
