I may jump on this for my Shuttle XPC XPMCE machine... The nVidia dual-tuner NVTV is totally unacceptable and I only have one PCI slot. I also have a PVR250 (Singal-tuner version of this)

I searched on nextag.com and found a full kit from page computer for $167 shipped and delivered. And that's the Hauppauge kit - full MCE remove and infrared USB reciever, plus whitebox PVR-500.

There's a new dell coupon for 25% off. I received it in an email today. Brings the total down to about $109 + tax. Shipping is free at the moment and Dell has updated the details to not mention anything about a MCE kit. So bare card only. Pretty good deal it seems.

I got mine; I can't say I'm thrilled. The quality, compared to my old PCI PVR card (Asus something, a few years old, also used with MCE2005 in the same PC) has really nosedived. It's soooooo dark I have to use my TV's controls to brighten it, and then when I play something my HDTV adapter recorded (the ATI HDTV Wonder), that then looks overly bright.

Not happy.
