WHS Tuner Card Recommendations

I am building a Windows Home Server machine with dedicated tuners. I have Comcast cable (STB=Sci.Atl. 8300HD).

What WHS-capable tuners do I need? I understand that WHS does not always play well with some tuners.

Thx, Barry

I'm using a networked HDHomerun and an installed Hauppauge 150 and HVR1600. Everything works great. I am not using it as a client.

I have a Motorola 6200 STB connected to the s-video of the 150 and I'm using firewire to change the channels.

1 each HDHR and PVR-150 here as well. I tried installing my Avermedia M780 (PCI-Ex1), but kept getting occasional freezing and lockups. I didn't give it much attention as I'm waiting for my HD-PVR from Hauppauge to arrive. That'll get hooked up to the Comsuck box via firewire.

Any others?

Is this topic worth a poll?

Another vote for the HDHR. By the end of the week, I hope to cast a vote for the HD-PVR

I also have an ATI 550, and I briefly ran a PVR-500 but removed it since I didn't need it.
