Cable is my first choice, but the Sat- based cards sound interesting. Still, I remember the reception was nonexistent when it rained.

Soon to return to US and looking forward to seeing/recording some HDTV

Don't you need a Digital card to capture digital cable?

Sorry hit enter when I meant Shift. To futher query should I look into seperate Analog/Digital/HDTV Tuners or try some combination such as : Kworld DVBS 100 PCI DTV and ATI 100-714127 PCI HDTV Wonder remote control ed. Wont these cards' remotes create a compatability issue? (Thinking...

I just heard about the July 1, 2005 deadline for broadcast- flag free TV Tuners. Is this hype? or should we all rush out and hoarde them like the bombs have started fallin? What is the best TV and HDTV Tuner BTW? I have seen a crappy Hauppauge (Win-TV Go) and wasn't too impressed...

Ok I'll admit I overclocked. Just to see what 3dMark score I could get (4747!) I used the nVidia System Utility and (truly)it was only for one day when I first got the card. I never had any problems until recently. First the temp shot up to 70 and now when I go to load any 3d games I see...

I'm building a PC for a buddy of mine who's computer skills are noobie at best. He wants a setup that can capture video: TV shows, sports and the like(aka Tivo) and also play the latest games. Am I better off going with an ATI AIW like the X800XL or Windows Media Ed. with a standard video...

Slowly but surely (and late to the party) I'm getting the computer I dreamed of a year ago. Replaced my 3000+ with a 3700+ and my crappy generic PS with an Antec 480. My question now is RAM: 1) 1G or 2G? 2)OCZ, Crucial, or Geil (or others)? I play games (HL2, LOTR etc) on this...

Googled and am more confused. Is it my PS? (Award 430w peak) Memory (listed below) or BIOS? and why do all the references on Uncle Bill's support page say, "Your Pentium processor..." any help would be great

All overclocks turned off. (the only thing I had left to change was memory timings- set these to auto) I restored all bios defaults and disabled fast-write Far Cry patch ver 1.3 loaded This time the computer didn't freeze- I got BSOD! STOP exception 0x0000009c...

Chris Rock said it best. Guns should be free but bullets should cost $5000 each. BTW-- I am a Life member of the NRA and an Olympic-Class target marksman.

BTW it's not the volts that kill you--- its the amps Can anyone say Tazer?

Best advise for rookies hands down! There's plenty of time time figure out what to do and not to do that won't cost $1000+. Be safe and shell out the $50.

First off, great site! Already answered many questions I had! Now I've got this problem... I can install Doom 3 and Far Cry but when I attempt to play the computer locks up after a few minutes- this has led to many other problems the worst being a corrupted Sys 32 file. I run HL2...
