Thanks. HDHomeRun is a tax bit expensive for me.

Are there any other PCI TV Tuner cards, which are ATSC/QAM the one capable of recording HDTV.

Did anyone test any other cards, which have less CPU requirements?

Thanks.

Thanks for the quick responses.

I need to empty my older HDDs now.

Thanks.

Thanks. But, may I know why it won't work??

The "Two CD Installer" section clearly states something what I said earlier. In theory, I think it should work. But if you say it doesn't, can you let me know why?

I just want to clarify the possibilities before I get down to do stuff.

Thanks.

Hi,
  I am a newbie and am looking into the TV Tuner cards. Can someone suggest me one from the following list.
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Category:TV_Cards

I have the following requirements
1. Least CPU requirement for the TV Tuner
2. Easiest installation. I can tinker around with drivers, but don't want to frustrate myself.
3. Something which has both ATSC and QAM tuners is great, but not a necessity now.

Another question:
My cable company gave me a set-top box. However, when I use it with my TV directly (cable goes into the TV), I get the channels, but not the program gude etc. (obviously).
Question: If I connect the cable TV  to the ATSC tuner, can the tuner scan the channels? Or do I need to have a QAM tuner??

Thanks.

I don't want to wipe out the contents of my HDD

1. I want to use Wubi 7.10 + Kubuntu 7.10
2. Once I install Kubuntu, I will use the 2 CDs to install MCE (not the DVD, DVD will wipe everything on my HDD, CDs won't)

I want to know where am I wrong, if I want to pursue this?

Thanks.

I am a Linux MCE Newbie. I don't have a computer with a clean HDD, so want to use Wubi 7.10 to install Kubuntu 7.10 and then install LinuxMCE 7.10. Can I do this? Any issues?

Thanks.
