I wonder which PVR applications (MythTV, SageTV, BeyondMedia) will support this?

 

This is a must have for any serious HTPC :)

[Brad]

System Requirements: WindowsXP Media Center Edition 2005, WindowsXP Home or WindowsXP Professional

Note: 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

[RossMAN]

This is so tempting mainly because it would only occupy one PCI slot rather than two.

[Brad]

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.

[RossMAN]

If only there was still a $15 off $200 coupon

[Brad]

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 :)

I want one as well although we already own a Tivo series 2, have a Toshiba SD-H400 on it's way and two TV cards. Plus a ReplayTV 3060, ReplayTV 5040.

how many tv's do you have? sell on ebay?

[RossMAN]

We only use the Tivo series 2 right now. The TV Tuner cards were just to play around with and they were cheap.

 

Just two TV's a 27" and 13".
