How Do You Build A Home Media Computer With DVR Capabilities?
So you want to build a home theater PC with DVR capabilities. It’s actually not very hard and the newest versions of Windows make it incredibly simple to accomplish. You can do it with a standard computer and just a few additional pieces of hardware. Here’s how: Ensure that your TV card has been properly installed in your computer. Most TV cards use the standard PCI architecture and should slide into an empty slot easily. If you don’t have an empty slot or you have a laptop, you can use a USB based TV card. Another option is to buy a computer custom built for the purpose of being a Home Theater PC. Connect either the coaxial cables or the component cables to your TV card and your cable box or over the air antenna. If you purchased an HDTV capable TV card, you can connect composite or HDMI cables (depending on what your TV card supports). Turn on your computer and boot to Windows 7. Click the start button, click all programs, click Windows Media Center. Click express setup. Scroll down
