Post subject:  Is The This Card Compatible And A Couple More Questions...

Ok, I'm trying to build my own PVR and I've decided to use KnoppMyth for the software. All the parts I have seem to be compatible with the exception of the TV Tuner card (which I need to buy). I did a search for this particular card and found three entries from two and a half years ago. Only one had a reply and it was a simple "No" answer. I was wondering if maybe things had changed or if I could get a more detailed response.

This is the card I was wondering about:
MSI TV@nywhere
Chipset:
Conexant CX881 video / audio decoder

Also, will I need to have a seperate video card for output or can I run a line out of my capture card?

This brings up another question: Will I need a sound card for audio or will both audio and video be carried on the coaxial output from a tuner card?

While I'm at it I might as well get some opinions on the rest of my hardware:

Intel Pentium 3 933Mhz CPU
768Mb PC133 Memory
60Gb IDE Hard Drive
Sound Blaster Live 128

The PickingComponents page hasn't been updated in a while, but given the vintage hardware you're talking about it's still quite on target.

Yes, it works, I have one and have been using it for over a year now.
