That's what I figured, as I mentioned in another message. > Most of the digital streams are well beyond what the MVP hardware can > handle.

That doesn't sound too bad.

Thanks for the data point. If I remember correctly the pchdtv HD5500 was priced over $100 for a single tuner. (Or is that one of the models that has a digital tuner and analog NTSC tuner that can both be used simultaneously, which could be useful.) The HDHomerun can be found for around $150, and provides two digital tuners, so the "per tuner" cost is less. It's also frequently recommended on the MythTV lists. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
