Well I bought a HDTV Tuner card with remote for $60.  A Twinhan 32500 it came with wireless remote control an audio cable and a cd.   I upgraded from 768 Meg to 1.5 Gig and the video card is now a AGP 8X NVIDIA GeoForce 6200 128 meg but the motherboard only supports 4X.  Everything seems faster though.  I still have had no luck on the capturing the stream as an mpeg 2 file.   I tried Scott’s suggestion of using the same, buggy 2.65 Build 01 software, that created it play it back. It appears to try to launch the playback window on a second monitor (DVI) which I am going to test.  I just wish I could find a program that would be a great software interface by changing the channels and allowed you some more flexibility with the codecs.  I am trying Beyond TV for 21 days and I did try Enigmavision HDTV looks like a great playback program and give it thumbs up..  I just hope I can get it to work with the remote control!   Madnas has a sample of what a good output could be.  I am going to try another gig stick and see what the results are as well. Stay tuned.
