Ok i finished overclocking my duron 750 and have it running at 950Mhz

I have upgraded the ram to 768Mb (much as it goes, and loostened the timings a bit as some of it was slower stuff :)

Specs for those that are interested:
Processor: Duron 750 - running at 950Mhz
CPU Heatsink: Modded Zalman AeroFlower
RAM: Assorted bits of SD ram :p out of various older pc's so no point naming them all PC100 being the slowest so all the settings are based on that
Motherboard: Abit KT7A
Gfx Card: Gainward Geforce 4 MX 440 128mb
Soundcard: Soundblaster live 1024

So onwards and upwards as they say ^^
I want to now make this into a media pc to plug up to the TV.
But heres the catch, i want to do the following things:
-Record Programs from the TV to the PC
-Record Programs on the VCR
-Run movies from other pc's on the network

I have done a bit of research and it turns out i need a TV Tuner to recieve the signal on the pc, and i need a gfx card to output that signal to the TV.
So can recommend a resonable priced tv tuner card that doesnt require a particularly powerful pc, if possible be HD TV compatible too

Thanks in advance
