Hey guys
I'm looking to cancel my sky subscription and get myself a shuttle Pc with Windows 7 MC etc to record and watch TV via freeview/freesat. The added bonus is I also then have a pc in my lounge.
Now the card that still seems to be the daddy is the Pinnacle 7010ix. There are a few on eBay but is there a newer equivalent or it best to stick with this? Seems to do the job and works in Win 7.
Also, I'm not too sure what shuttle pc to get, needs to be reasonable spec and obviously the above card needs to fit in it! Also, will on-board gfx be enough or am I going to need a gfx card as well and subsequently will that fit in with the pinnacle card?
Thanks for your time!
