I can't decide.
I am going to get SageTV Media Center and am very confused on which tuner(s) to get. I either would get:
1) HDHomerun (for QAM off cable) and 2) ? for non-HD cable channels or 3) WinTV-HVR-1800 board, model 01129 My pc has an Intel D 930 Pressler 3.0 cpu and 2 gb Memory, etc... I have Brighthouse cable with a SA8300HD cable box. Any recommendations would truly be appreciated. I want to get this setup and ready for the HD Extender just ordered, but not here yet. Thanks. |

It all depends, personally I'd probably go with something like the PVR500. So then you'lll have 2 HD tuners and 2 analog ones. However.. the HVR will add another HD tuner & an analog one. If you watch a lot of sitcoms and such most will probably be on the "HD channels", so the HVR might be a better choice.
