Multimedia Options (DVR/TV tuner)

[popeye]

So what's the best solution? I mean for television, recording tv and movies to my pc, music, dvd burning... all that crap.

Software:
I've heard Microsoft Media Edition 2005 kind of blows.
The ATI All in wonder software is supposed to be the best.

Hardware:
There seems to be a debate between Tivo and Comcast DVR's and their inability to transfer data to one's PC.

There's also ATI all in wonder cards which are great if you want a X600 pro (only PCI Express model).

I was thinking an nVidia GeForce 6600 GT graphics card, an ATI TV wonder Elite Tv Tuner and the ATI All in Wonder software. Does this seem logical to anyone? :confused:

:( Anyone?

get the ATi tv tuner elite, it has built in hardware mpeg2 encoding and a 3d comb filter that kicks the ass of all other tuners on the market now. ;)

I have the AIW x800xt for my AGP system.
Awesome card for both media and gaming.

If you want a PCI-E gaming card that can do media too, then a AIW 9600xt is the best you can get.

If you only want a TV box, cable, game console, etc. to conecto to your PC, you could just get a card with VIVO
