I have an old Shuttle XPC (SK43G) with an AMD 2600+ in it and want to turn it into a MythTV DVR. I need it to not only record SDTV, but shoot it back out to my TV as well. I don't need it to be able to record and playback at the same time, and I don't need it to record HDTV. Do I really need anything but a special video card? It only has one AGP(4x) slot and one PCI slot, do I need a case+mobo with more slots? I'm practically clueless about doing this as all the info I can find is either new boxes with HDTV recording and ability to record and play at the same time, or 5 year old boxes that don't address all the new stuff that is supported. Can anyone point me too a good resource that's hopefully not too confusing?

Oh, and if you guys think this thread belongs in another subforum let me know.
