HD PVR interface with PC and Sage
What is the best way to interface the HD PVR into my computer. It shows component connections but no HDMI out but I think I must buy a new video card with component "in" to get the HD signal into my PC from the HD PVR. I have the Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS card and running Windows Vista Premium. Will Sage "see" the video signal and set the HD PVR as a source or is there a driver for that. The HDHR was very nice but now has become a 4 channel receiver.

The HD-PVR connects to the PC via USB.

How many HD PVRs are you considering? I would recommend not putting more than 2 HD PVR per 1 USB connection. So if you are considering 3, you probably want to pick up a USB card as well.

No I will only use one HD PVR. Just did not know it connected like the HDHR I am now using. I will be using a Comcast DCX 3200 cable box. Any tips would be appreciated if you have this setup.

Well, it doesn't connect like the HDHR (the HDHR is connected via Ethernet).
