I currently run MCE on a slower machine and am in the process of migrating over to a new PC for SageTV. The new machine will have:
Asus A8N MB w/ 7.1 Sound onboard
AMD 3800+ X2 CPU
2GB DDR RAM
EVGA 6800GT w/AC Silencer V5
WinXP Home Edition
40GB System HD
200 Data HD
Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-500MCE
VBOX Cat's Eye DTA-150 ATSC Terrestrial HDTV Receiver
nVIDIA DVD Decoder Install CD
Microsoft MCE Remote Control and receiver
Harmony 680 Remote
I am using a Samsung HL-S5687W DLP HDTV.
I will be using a DVI to HDMI cable.
Are there any SageTV users that use a Nvidia card like the 6800GT? Can you get 1080 rez out of your DVI? What drivers are you using? Any particular settings I need to know about?
Also I have used AC3Filter pass the 5.1 output through the SPID (TOSLink) jack to my 5.1 receiver. Will this work for SageTV as well? Will I need to install the Purevideo decoder?
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
John
