How do you intstall this card on XP Pro? Even on nvidia's site, there's a blurb about:

" Don't have MCE?
The following software application providers have added support of NVIDIA DualTV to their applications. Please check with them for details of their support. Yahoo! (Yahoo! Go for TV)
SnapStream (SnapStream Beyond TV)
Orb Networks, Inc. (Orb Media) "

Yet nowhere on Snapstream's site do I see installation instructions or driver concerns.

I have Direct TV. Do you have to have two set top boxes to be able to record two programs at the same time?

"first TV tuner for PCs to offer two TV tuners on a single card..". What about Hauppauge's MCE500 dual analog TV tuner card?

What's this MediaSqueeze technology? Is it something that is compatible with MCE? If so, is there a 10 button interface to it? That might be a compelling reason. Of course, I am holding for the cablecards coming for Vista.

With 10 seconds of looking I see 139... http://store.snapstream.com/accessories.html

Though for me any no product that dosn't include ATA HD and clear channel cable support is non starter.

Mike, If you can show me a PVR-500MCE for $120, I'm buying today! Can you give me a pointer? Thx!

I doubt it. Most builders with duals are probably using the Hauppauge PVR-500MCE. I'm holding off on this until I see some sort of review proving that it's worth the what, $50 or so extra dollars compared to the 500.

Any PC Makers already offering this with the PC? Dell mentions a Dual Tuner but they aren't clear what make and model you get.
