Hi computerforumers,
I'm planning on building a computer in which I can record my Dish TV. I havea couple questions thought:
1. From the feed from the satellite box, do I need a splitter to send the signal to my computer and tv?
2. What should I look for in a TV Tuner card?
3. Seeing as the only purpose of this computer is to record and playback video/audio, what components should I focus my money on? I know I'll need a pretty large HDD obvi, but will it be critical to get a good processor, a bit of RAM, and a decent GPU?
4. Finally, I plan on using Mythbuntu for an OS.. Where will I get drivers for all of my components to run on that OS? (or would I be better off with Windows?)
