I was thinking of building my first HTPC with the following components:
Intel Pentium Dual Core E2180
Asus P5K-VM
2GB DDR2-667MHz
Seagate 500GB SATA-2
Saphhire Radeon X1950XT 256MB
(I might buy a new more reliable PSU so any suggestions will be appreciated)
I wanted to be able to record HDTV shows. I have a Rogers HD terminal box. Its not a HD PVR so it has no recording capabilities.
1) Will I get HD broadcast through any TV Tuner if I plug in the cable directly into it?
2) Are there any TV tuner cards which can record in HD as well or do I need another device? or is HD PVR the only solution?
