    Hi All

    I'm trying to setup a MCE desktop for as cheap as possible.
    I have a SFF desktop with decent specs that is really silent so I'm going to use that.
    I'm just going to be hooking it up to my Sky box.
    All I need really is the remote and a TV card......I think!
    Can anyone recommend a good value card, cheaper the better, that will do the job for recording, pausing live TV etc?

    ill be selling my PVR150 soon if you are interested. Other than that, a package from either Komplett or ebay is a good way to go.

    Dont get too hung up on specs unless you plan watching HD content.

    Thanks Subway, think I'll give that a look.
    Souper, if you let it go for 40 I'd be interested, but for that price I'd rather just pay the little extra for the new card. Thanks for the offer though!

    I could swallow €40 if you can collect from me, im in D22. As I say, I wont be finished with it for about two weeks.

    Sounds good.
    PM me when you're finished with it.
    I may get itchy in the meantime and go out and buy it new but I'll let you know if I do!
