OK, thanks for the info. At least I'm not going to have to buy too much
equipment. So I need a new graphics card and a Hauppage card (or
similar)? Can anyone recommend one of the graphics cards that MS
support for MCE 2005? According to the MS website the following are
supported:

· ATI Mobility RADEON 9800
· ATI RADEON 9800 Series
· ATI RADEON X800 Series
· ATI Mobility RADEON X700
· NVIDIA GeForce FX5200
· NVIDIA GeForce FX5700
· NVIDIA GeForce FX5750
· NVIDIA GeForce 6600
· NVIDIA GeForce 6800

If anyone can recommend a model / make / manufacturer / amount of RAM /
etc then I'd be grateful - don't want to spend a fortune for the top
model but then don't see any point going for rubbish one either as want
to be reasonable future-proof.

Thanks again
Rob
