Windows Media TV Tuner Channels?

I need a TV tuner for my Media Center 2005 Rollup 2?

• i have Windows Media Center 2005 Rollup 2 (XP) and want to add a TV tuner card so I can record my cable channels, etc... i've seen a lot of discussion about Happauge cards, esp the 1850, but have seen some say it only supports Vista. I have a PCI and PCI-Express slot available. I want the card to be inherently compatible with Windows Media Center. I'd like to schedule recordings in advance, be able to stream recordings to my Media Center Extender, pick up the additional channels (HD, etc) via either antennae or cable... Does anyone have any experience based advice as to what I should look at? What you'd had good luck with? On Media Center 2005 Rollup 2 (XP) not Vista... I'd prefer a card over a USB adapter as it will be connected permanently to a desktop computer.

• Answer:

  I use the WinTV-PVR-150 with Windows Media Center 2005 and it works great. It's older but it works great with the actual Windows Media Center and not just it's own software I will be trying it with Windows 7 soon Good luck
