I ordered my Sentia m3200 (as I said in another thread) and am expecting it to arrive on Thursday. I am going to want to add a TV tuner for Windows Media Center and I am hoping some of you will have some suggestions for me. I would like to be external and cost efficient. What are some of you using now?

Thanks for any help.

I have MCE 2005 on my M3200 and I get Non Supported Video card issues with it. Even with a tuner you may see problems getting MCE to work.

It does come with Power Cinema which works just like the MCE interface only you don't have to boot to windows.

AVerMedia have a CardExpress TV tuner, which will work in MCE2005.

although you may want to wait until the USB2 digital cable tuners are released.

So, power cinema works like MCE? I am not all the savvy in computers and all that. Thanks.

Thursday is the big day! Can't wait!
