RossMAN Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 I wonder which PVR applications (MythTV, SageTV, BeyondMedia) will support this? This is a must have for any serious HTPC :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 System Requirements: WindowsXP Media Center Edition 2005, WindowsXP Home or WindowsXP ProfessionalNote: when using the WinTV-PVR-500MCE with WindowsXP, you need a third party TV application such as MythTV, SageTV or BeyondTV so it looks like it would work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMAN Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 This is so tempting mainly because it would only occupy one PCI slot rather than two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 I'd wait until they get them in stock as you will get free shipping where if you order now they won't give you free shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMAN Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 If only there was still a $15 off $200 coupon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 there is still a $10 off $150 coupon for new customers, and it's pretty easy to persuade buy.com's server that you are a new customer :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
