ajb, Here is something I came across today: amdzone.com But probably the best place for this is to go to the avsforum: avsforum.com Joe

OT, re: TiVO A friend and I have been working on this for a while with mixed progress. (His works but I have stalled for the moment.) I would do a lot of reading before ordering and make sure the parts will play nice with each other. I went with the Snapstream/Hauppauge PVR250 bundle. The TV cap card has HW encoding so the CPU load for recording is zero. HW encoding is very desirable since it reduces the CPU load. However, this card refused to install in two integrated graphics motherboards and one discrete motherboard before I finally found it a nice home. I would suggest working backwards from the PVR software to the hardware components. -PT

re:<OT question wrt TiVoing my computer> I've used a couple All in Wonder cards and the latest ones let you schedule TV recording, pause and fast forward live TV, etc., but I recently bought a standalone card, MSI TV@Anywhere that has a much better tuner. The ATI card always looked grainy compared to this, and I'd rather decouple the video card from the TV anyway. Maybe the standalone ATI TV tuner doesn't suffer from the graininess, I don't know. The TV@Anywhere also lets you stream MPEG video across a LAN, but I haven't tried that yet. I believe it does MPEG 2 and 4 encoding in hardware. It's about $60.00 and comes with a nice remote that lets you pause live TV while you get a cup and coffee and then fast forward through the commercials. Petz
