This is probably just my own ignorance with the terminology (again). I'm not using TV out on my backend machine with the capture card. I just want the process of extracting the signal from the wire and storing it as MPEG2 to be done in hardware; i.e. the recording process. I don't care about the display (this particular machine already has an NVidia Radeon 9800 card with TV out, so if I ever do connect it to a real TV, I'll use that connection). Is that the encoding or the decoding? Does the PVR-150 do the recording part in hardware or not? If not, I have the wrong card. I'm just worried about the backend machine now, which I would like to also be able to use for other purposes which is why I want hardware recording. There have been good threads recently on how to choose frontend system hardware, but I need to make sure my backend system is really going to work properly before I lay out the money for the frontend. --Greg
