Cheapo PVR box

[The_Other_One]

*shrugs* Just messing with my old computers. I thought it would be fun to make my little "tester" into a PVR. It actually works pretty well, and I'm sure it'll do great with that 80G I have. The only problem is that it might not be able to hand really good quality video. But this coupled with my RF remote makes for a pretty neat little setup I have live TV paused right now so I'm not distracted during commercials

Just wondering if you have a PVR card specifically, or if you are using something custom. What wire leads are pictured, thats very interesting.

Hah, sorry for the late reply!

I have a WinTV PVR-150 MCE in it. Wires are just standard RCA coming from the onboard audio and Radeon 8500.

I think I need some of those...got pics of both ends?

Where did you buy it, and how much $ was it?

I'll get one of the back and inside of the system in a bit... Though it no longer is a PVR but a Vista tester All the hardware is still loaded, though.

Here you are... Most of the stuff I used was from my old computer or hand-me-downs. It all can be purchased at newegg...
