    Post TV Tuner Cards Compatible with XP Media Centre?

    Hi,

    I was wondering what TV tuner cards are compatible with Media Centre. Not surprisingly, Microsoft don't have a list on their site.

    Thanks

    Hi there, been setting up a Media Center PC myself. The card most poeple seem to go for is the hauppage PVR250, theres a PVR250MCE edition, but from what I read throught there isnt much difference. Theres also the PVR350, I think the main difference is that the PVR350 supports encoding AND decoding, but media center doenst support all of its features yet, best try the PVR250.

    Cheers

    (BTW, for Media Center you will need drivers that are designated as being for Media Center, if you see any other cards, just try the support site of the manafacturer and see if they offer drivers for MCE)
