Hi All,
This will be my first HTPC build but about 20th PC build. I am getting two new HDTV LCD TV's next week and I am going to be putting two HTPC's together to 1. Stream Media/Netflix/Hulu?etc... 2. To watch DVD's. 3. Record things. Both TV's have HDMI and PC inputs.
My question is in reguards to the TV tuner card. Will I be using the Digital Tuner in the TV's when I put in a card and using it as a pass through or will I be using the card itself.
My plans so far are.
Micro HTPC Case
Micro MB (Looking at Gigabyte MB with onboard HDMI and Geforce 8200 series)
2 - 4 GBS of RAM
TV Tuner card as needed
WD Green HD
Remote/Wireless KB
Also I was reading that it is necessary to get a case that has S3 wakeup? Just double checking. Thanks.
