Well, I'm evaluating it because I also want to be able to record in the future. But in the meantime, I prefer to be able to also view normal DVD/AVI/RMVB etc files. BTW, talking about tuner cards, am I mistaken to think that 3 tuners = 3 connections and 3 diff channels at the same time? I take it this is free-to-air TV instead of Pay-TV eg: Dish/Cable etc? (which would otherwise restrict the viewer to 1 channel per instance. unless they get more set-top boxes?) -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
