I recently aquired a Athlon XP-M 2200+ (35W version), so I'm going to base my system around that as it should run really cool. So that sort of discounts the Pundit. I'm looking at the Accent HT-400 case, very expensive, but looks fantastic! Tihs box also comes with a remote control built in.
I'll probably end up with the SkyStar2 for DVB-S and a different make of card for DVB-T. I've not really decided which yet. The Nebula looks nice and support MHEG-5, but costs a lot, so I might keep my existing Freeview box for interactive and just use a cheaper card in the PC. Any recommendations for a good card with good software ?
What about Meedio as the driving software. Can any software package fully integrate a DVB-S and DVB-T card so that the record and play-back are all done from the same application. Otherwise the only solution I can see is running seperate software for each type of card.
Why do people go on about having cards with hardware MPEG-2 decoders. Can't the software that plays back the video stream use the hardware decoders on the graphics cards ?
