I do believe you have to install at least one compatible analog tv capture card (hardware not software decoding) first in MCE, then the A180 should work fine. At least thats what I caught in a couple of the messageboards. I don't know though because I have issues with MCE's DRM limitations so I'm still using standard XP for my HTPC. I do have an A180 arriving tomorrow so I'll let you know how it looks/performs ;)

I'm finally building my own SLI gaming rig with an A8N Deluxe mobo that I've had for 7 mos, so the opteron board will now move to the HTPC. Too many bills these days to do the monthly upgrades :(

That's not true.  Several HDTV cards work under MCE - including the MDP-120

Several report good success with that.

But there has been some praise for the Avermedia A180 card as an option as
well.

Does anyone know of a list of supported TV tuner cards for media center.

<http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/Results.aspx?collID=98> & the
problem is that the only supported HDTV card is the ATI card & as
Chris has mentioned it has all sorts of issues with MCE.  I'd rather
use the MyHD MDP-120 card with it's own menuing system on a plain
jane Xp system until MSFT can get more hardware supt for MCE.
