[QUOTE="gorila22, post: 157742, member: 178478"] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]hi everybody I am planning to make a sizable investment to my system and I wanted to hear what you think. For over a year i have been watching my fav sat channels my patched soft interstar 8005d CI, old samsung plano CRT (56cm) and digital sound via my amp. I decided to go for a massive upgrade: to integrate all my digital needs into one PC, get better video quality and ability to record. My PC: AMD64 3000+ (939), RAM: 2x512 DDR DIMM, Gigabyte GF6600 Turbo 128MB DVI, SilentPipe, Lite-on DVD-RW, Samsung 160GB SATA II. I am debating whether to choose windows media center 2005 or alternative like Meedio as an OS.

[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]A few questions::confused: [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]- will my video quality improve significantly on regular SAT channels now?
