cablebox setup on server
I have a P4 2.8 with 1 gig of ram and windows XP pro. 1 DualTV and 1 PVR-150. I would like to add a digital cablebox to the PVR-150 to get all the digital channels throughout the house. I will have 3 or 4 MVP's. The Nvidia dualtv will take care of the reg(2-99) recording and the PVR-150 will take over after that. What special things do I need to know to set this up? Are there different ways to do this. Also does the server need a really good video card or is the built in ok? no viewing will be done on the server, just through the MVP's

I can't help you much with the setup of a the digital cable box, other than to say you need an IR blaster in order to change the channel of the STB. Otherwise hooking it up is rather easy (just connect into the svideo/composite cables into your PVR150).
As far as the video card, do not bother with putting a nice video card into your server, as long as you aren't viewing on it. My server has an old geforce 2 mx PCI card in it (only because it doesn't have onboard video) and it works fine.
