Hi all, I just purchased Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and wanted to know what kind of card I need so that I can turn my PC into a PVR. I live in Montreal, Canada so I use Bell ExpressVu satellite system.

I think I need some kind of TV tuner and a wireless router, but I'm lost at this point figuring out what I really need to make this work.

Let me know if anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks!

you need a capture card that it supports. the most common being the Hauppauge PVR-150/250/350.

here's a compatibility list (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/mediacenter/partners/dfw/partnerlisting.mspx)
