Hello,
I need a recommendation on which tuner card to put into my core. I have all the other components identified (thanks for the help). I am thinking of the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250. I have only 1 TV but I want to be able to watch one channel and record on another. Is this a good choice or do you recommend something better?
Thanks for your help, Tom
For DirecTV, you will need to attach a Hauppauge HD-PVR to the USB port of either your core, or the nearest media director, and wire the component output of your DirecTV box to the HD-PVR, so the system can digitize it. You can then use a USB UIRT to control the DirecTV receiver.

Thanks Thom. This is all pretty exciting stuff. I really love Linux (though am very much a newbie) and I love my audio. Looking forward to this marriage.

Thom,
Won't I still need a tuner card of some kind for my PC? Something to plug the PVR in to?
Tom
That's what the HD-PVR is, bro.
Go google it. ;)

When I said newb I wasn't kidding!
At CES Hauppauge announced an internal component capture that attaches to a 1xPCie for $159. I haven't seen anything else yet. these are suppossed to be functionally similar to the USB version. So you might want to wait for these to come out.
