Hello,
The last time I bought a computer was about 4-5 years ago (besides my laptop). Here's my situation, I'm in out of state college so basically my desktop sits idlely at home. Someone wants to buy my desktop, so I need something new. Until the directv pc tuner card comes out, I will use this new computer as my desktop computer. Once that tuner comes out then it will go in our home theater. I don't really game much at all, but I backup a lot of DVD's and will be recording a lot of content. I want to put 1 or 2 HD OTA tuners and one or two directv tuners. My first question is (I've never owned a tivo), do most tivos have multiple directv tuners so I can watch one channel while I am recording another? And for any directv subscribers, do I have to pay more for having two tuners or do I have to pay for the DVR service? As for my computer specs, what kind of graphics card would I need to handle this stuff? What about CPU? I want to be able to multi-task (backup/burn a dvd while watching/recording content most importantly). Which HDTV tuners are good? Thanks, also if this should be in general hardware, mods can you please move it? Thanks
