I am planning on ordering http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824219051

I'm planning out my HTPC and am wondering if NewEgg has a single card that can output both optical audio and video to an amp? If not then I will have to get an amp that has at least two optical inputs, correct?

My question is..... which option is better IF the only HD recording you do is from a cable STB?
I have yet to buy a Hauppauge HD-PVR primarily because I have no interest in recording from any component sources other than a STB and my cable provider did not used to give us premium HD channels that I was interested in saving. But now ...

I have been trying to find an external hard drive enclosure with FireWire 800 out that is capable of RAID 1 (or better) but have had little success.
Perhaps such an enclosure simiply is not produced in which case I'll simply need to get a premanufactured external hard drive although doing so doesn't sit nearly as well with me since as drives ...

There's a few and some REALLY very in price. Beyond that, I don't know much about the difference unfortunately.
I'm ...
