Hi Keith.  Glad to help.  I'm partial to the Hauppage cards, but really
the best advice to give you is to make sure you get a card which does
hardware encoding so the load is taken off your system.  My PVR was a
P3-800 for a while and it had no problem streaming to multiple frontends
while simultaneously recording two shows.  With that ATI card I
mentioned (which is a frame grabber) the system was at almost 100% CPU
while recording ONE show.
