I want to build a Media Center with extra parts I have laying around. I will only have to purchase a few things. We just have standard cable, not digital or any premium channels. We mainly want to use it as a TIVO type recorder and be able to browse the internet while at the sofa. I will only have to buy a motherboard, PVR Card and a wireless keyboard. This is what I'm curious about.
If I purchase a motherboard with integrated video (either nVidia or VIA), and I use a Video Card To S-Video And Tv Adapter Cable, will it work as well as a separate video card with S-Video out? I found this adapter at Cyberguys and thought it would allow me to not have to purchase a separate video card. I have no experience with Media Center building, so I was hoping someone could give me advice on this. Thanks!
