New SageTV Client Build basic question
Ok, I've got the CPU (LGA775 3.4GHz). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I wouldn't need a PVR card in this system just the OS and SageTV client and the SageTV server handles all the PVR stuff. (?) So what I'd need is a good video card that does TV out, right? I'm thinking of going with an nV 6800 (std) or nV 6600 series.

Depending on your desired output type either NVidia series card likely a good choice. I have a 6600AGP using component out, happy with it.

I have a 6600 GT and it is a nice card and recordings look great on the LCD monitor.You will not need a PVR for viewing purposes. You don't need a PVR card installed to use a remote ,do you? You have a lot of CPU for just a Client if that is all you are going to use the PC for, but it would be nice to do the comskip processing on it.
