  • HTPC Audio & Video Cards

    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? If I do need two different cards, does anyone have a good suggestion for components? I'm trying to keep the HTPC total ...

  • Quesion-Discusssion Cable Card vs Hauppauge HD-PVR

    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 ...

  • FireWire 800 + RAID 1 (or better)

    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 ...

  • Can you recommend a tv tuner?

    Hi there!  I know there are a lot of posts here about this, but I'm a bit of a newbie to the HTPC area.  I'm looking at the tv tuners for laptops that are express cards and are ATSC / ClearQAM / NTSC.  There's a few and some REALLY very in price.  Beyond that, I don't know much about the difference unfortunately.  I'm ...
