First wanted to say hi to everyone... looks like a great site ...
now my questions i have a older gateway pc spec are 250 g hdd.. 1 g ddr2.. dual core 1.8 processer with DIAMOND ATI TV Wonder HD 650 and Radeon 2400  Video card.. i dont really use the pc for anything and was thinkin of using it for a pvr but not sure if this would work , i can add more ddr2 maybe 4gb and another hard drive... this pc is hooked up to my LCD tv and is just collecting dust i also have dish network (sd) so didnt know if i could use it to record from dish net also have xbox 360 hooked to this tv ( if that would make a Difference) my main goal is to record thing while im at work or asleep and maybe record a show while i watch something else... also this pc is windows xp but can change os if need too...

It should work just fine. You'll probably need some more hard drive space. You'll only be able to reocrd in SD with that tuner, but it will work fine for a basic setup.
