I recommend the NVIDIA 6600GT especially for HD due to its PureVideo
functionality which you can read about at the NVIDIA Website for good PQ.
The ATI HDTV card is on the MS approved list however many MCE users prefer
the Fusion F5 card. Since due to geography I can not receive OTA TV so I
can not really recommend one or the other.
