Thx 4 any advice in advance

You CANT build your Own... Windows MCE is NOT sold for the Public to make their OWN system.....

I use the
Hauppauge PVR-250 I use it with my 80GB Humax DVBT Box (like Sky+ for Free View)
If you go to Argos, spect £29.99 & buy a DigiSender (
HERE) Or enter 5344273 into Search box on
www.argos.co.uk/ you can send a Signal to anywhere in your House. I set this up on my brothers Sky TV. Its very EASY... 1 Scart into Sky/NTL & then 1 Scart into TV (anywhere in house) But on
Hauppauge PVR-250 I would buy a Red/Yellow/White wire off EBay (cheaper than Dixons or shops like that) & instead of using the Scart to Red/Yellow/White in the kit. Use your OWN wire to the
Hauppauge PVR-250
Think that will work like a dream, I record of TV with my
Hauppauge PVR-250 I then use Nero 6 & extra pack to Burn to DVD & add Chapters & Credits... Very EASY
