you said it all there. Some cards have better tuners than others,say he follows your advice and unluckily buys a problem card he will be no better off,He has the hardware to try now and see if he is happy or not with the results

As far as im concerned the pvr functions on a pc are software based so any device be it a stb or a internal tuner can timeshift and use full pvr functions,also pretty much every gfx card has tv out so a media centre solution can be achieved with what he has now
