Any feedback on this card ???

Any conflicts with the ATI X-600 Pci-Xpress card ????
ATI recommends you have a ATI Wonder 9600 or above graphic card

Is it too soon to be getting a HDTV tuner card for you m/c PC and expecting

or is the reason there is a $ 25% rebate or $ 50.00 rebate because they are less than superior quality and they are not selling ???

Voomster,
There have been a number of quality HDTV cards for the PC already. If you have the processing power, there are a few software decoding cards that can be had for very cheap. They will allow you to capture the direct MPEG2 stream off an OTA antenna, so you can playback later again at full digital quality. They will not, however, recieve from the satellite.

I'd checkout thegreenbutton.com for info on Windows media center, including talk of ATI HDTV card for MCE. There are only 2 cards supposedly supported, that one, and the DVIVO fusion something another. Good luck. I might make the jump further down the road to buy one of these cards.

The Daughter card has DVI input...maybe the VOOM receiver can connect to this and the signal can be recorded?

That card (MyHD) is very popular card at AVSForum.

MCE2005 (just released two weeks ago) supports quite a few HD cards. It also supports multiple tuner cards.

Ive got an HP Media Center PC and they upgraded me for free.

That daughter card is DVI OUTPUT. There is no HD input, only S-Video. All HD is via OTA antenna signal ONLY.

ATI HDtv Card

I have it and can't use it. Well sorta.. it works.. but my desktop pc is only a 1 ghz processor and the video isn't smooth at all. I need a new motherboard and cpu and don't have the time, energy or money right now to do it.

$125 + $5 shipping if anyone wants it.
