I want to build a small HT PC... starting with a barebones AMD based MB, Shuttle case and PSU. I want to be able to record HD content from my Dish receiver to a hard drive I'd install in my HTPC. I'd like the capability of recording Hi Def movies and watching them later. The MB that comes with this barebones system has an HDMI output and will display Hi Def content to a HD Set....but my question is how to get the Dish signal into my HTPC. I've seen Video cards...but all have outputs. I need something that has a Hi Def input that is PCI based. Either HDMI or DVI based (as I can always get adapters). I planned on adding either a Blu Ray Player or Player/burner and a wireless modem to add some more flexibilty to my system.
I've been looking around and have seen anything that has a Hi Def input for a computer (HTPC).
I'd appreciate any help.
Regards
