Yes and yes you do. However bare in mind Media Centre gets it's guides from an online source and not from the digital feed.

I've been using a Win TV Nova S2 card with an ATI Radeon 3800 HD card for a couple of years, with no problems at all.

OK, better late then never, but I've finally ordered the Hauppage WinTV Nova-S2 HD card.

Question is, what software to use with it. I've read articles online stating that Vista Home Premium's Media Centre won't be able to detect/play the HD content I want the card for.

The card comes bundled with PowerCinema, but I've also read some pretty indifferent comments on that.

What about DVBviewer?

I did look at the 4400, but as I only need it for satellite, it seemed like overkill.

Have you used both DVBviewer and GBPVR? Which do you prefer and why?
