    Great TV Tuner card for MCE. Hybrid cards are pretty common, but this one is unique in having a hardware MPEG-2 encoder for its NTSC tuner (in addition to its ATSC tuner for OTA HD).

    That means you get two tuners which operate at the same time for the cost of one PCI slot. Cheaper than the hybrid ATI 650 with no hardware encoder for its analog NTSC tuner (and you can only use one tuner at a time).

      NIIIIIIICCCCEEE!!!! So when are you going to debut your badass system in your basement? Or did you already do it without me?

      Not yet ... having some TV issues, trying to get everything fixed. Still a big mess of ugly wires and crap. Next up I'm upgrading my OTA antenna and dumping the Comcast DVR!
