i wont to know what kind of capture card i should get. the number one thing i am considering in my quest for this card is price. i am a very poor person this is why i made my own dvr as apose to buying one. i have 1.8 ghz celron on 754mb ram. is this sufichant for the machine doing its own mpeg 2 encodeing. i will be using only my anntana and im just fine with only recording one show at a time. i dont belive i need a card that does its own mpeg2 encodeing. correct me if im wrong and does anyone have any suggestion for a good cheap card with a remote

I use the ATI HDTV Wonder works good but you have to download the firmware. I think I paid 20 bucks for it.
