I'm relatively new to the video capture card market, and I need some help on what I need to look for. I have a Vista Ultimate computer equipped with the new Media Center. I plan on using Media Center through my Xbox360 on a wired connection, so no bandwidth issues.
I want to be able to record TV shows to watch through the Media Center. I get service through my local cable company, of which I subscribe to all the extra digital channels and premium channels. Channels 2-66 are basic analog channels, but I also want this tuner card to be able to capture the digital stations as well, 67-999. This includes all of my premium channels and HD channels that normaly only the digital box receives that was obtained through the cable company.
OTA HD isn't necessary, but would be a nice plus.
Can you guys give me recommendations on what to look for, as well any cards you'd recommend directly?
