My head is spinning.

[MarkyD]

I'd like to build and HTPC that can do the following:

1. Tune analog cable.
2. Tune OTA HDTV
3. Tune Clear QAM Cable.

I'm sick of having a billion different devices on my various inputs on my 42" Westinghouse 1080p LCD.

Sage looks really nice. However, I don't know what to do for hardware.

What tuner card combo would you all suggest to accomplish what I'm trying to do? I'd also like to record on more than one input at the same time...i.e: OTA HDTV and Analog cable at the same time. The computer will be plenty robust, as I am planning on building a nice dual core athlon system.

Can you all make suggestions on tuning hardware that will accomplish my goals?

Thanks!

If you haven't already, check out htpcnews.com as it is a great resource for picking hardware and building advice.

Aside from that, the most popular choices around here are...

Analog - Hauppauge PVR150
Digital OTA - Avermedia A80 or Divco Fusion Series
QAM - Nothing currently, however if you have a cable box with a firewire port you can kind of get digital cable working. Check this forum...
