Hi,

This is firt time working with linux.

I am thinking to install LinHES on a Asus P5GD1-VM/X computer.

Can someone please suggest which Tuner Card and Graphics Card I need?
Or Do I need Graphics card if I am using a Tuner card.

Cheers

We need more details. What are you looking to capture (OTA, DVB, etc.)? What are you looking to output to (SDTV, HDTV)?

astv,

YES, you need BOTH. A good graphics card and a GREAT tuner card.

I'm only speaking from OTA (ATSC) tuners.... Pinnacle 800i PCI card. I don't do cable, but one day, I'll venture into the FTA satellite feeds. A very low income keeps me from going there. :( Take a look at eBay for some of these cards as they're discontinued and Hauppauge bought out the Pinnacle tuners. These cards also do QAM for cable, but I can't attest to it's abilities or quality. This card really ROCKS for ATSC reception!

If anyone out there has some pointers to a great PCIe tuner....shout out, ok!

If you're looking for an External tuner.... HD Homerun. Hands down. Folks here swear by them, not AT them! ;)

Graphics card? Any Nvidia board with a GeForce 9400 or better would work fine.

Welcome to the dark side of DVR's. We do pretty well here!
