I know that this has been discussed before but my ISP has blocked the archives domain for some odd reason, I lost also all links to dutch websites, but heck , that's another problem. My HTPC is finally almost finished, based on aopens i855 mobile micro atx board, a celeron mobile 1400. I can choose between two setups: 1) The ones that needs more power: Hauppuage DVB-S Rev 1.3card : for digital sat Hauppauge DVB-C card : for digital cable Hauppauge PVR-350 : for analog cable 2) one that needs less power and produces less heat: hauppauge DVB-S Rev1.3 Siemens/Fujitsu DVB/C with analog module installed. It's abvious that the second solution would be a better choice but I wonder if this analog module does it's work now or not. If not, then I still have two choices. 1) stick to solution 1 on linux platform 2) stick to solution 2 on windows platform (bweeeek)
