if you use linux, 1 gb ram for recording / using xbmc is enough.

Oh, it doesn't have to be Windows. It can be Linux.

Well, I thought I saw something about VDR and those live TV plugins. Sooo, I CAN record and watch live TV with XBMC and live TV plugins after all?
That would kick ass.

Also, can I use the remote I get with the TV card as a remote for XBMC? I'm not really sure how that works.
