Am I ready to start using sagetv

Finally got my new system up and running

As far as hardware goes, I have a 7800GT w/vivo, sufficient HDD space, and one s-video cable. Is this all that I need to start watching, recording, and TV out with sagetv?

You'll need a PVR card to make it worth while. Even if the VI from the 7800 is recognized in sage you'll likely have sync problems using that and the sound card to capture.

Sage is very good at playing video files like xvid and divx.
