I have Verizon FIOS (internet and HDTV). I get my Windows 7 Ultimate in the mail tomorrow and will be installing it on the following machine specs:
* Cooler Master Elite 330
* Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P motherboard
* AMD Phenom II Quad 940 Black Editon - Stock cooling
* 8GB G-Skill PC2-6400
* XFX Radeon 4870 1GB
* Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA II
* Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB SATAII
* Onboard LAN/HD Audio
* Logitech DiNovo Keyboard
* Logitech MX Revolution Mouse
* 2 X Yate Loon 120mm silent case fans
* 2 X Dell" S2309 W @ 1900 x 1080
I would like to know if it is possible for me to watch my FIOS using a tuner card and not have to use a FIOS HD receiver. If I can do this, will the Windows 7 media center pickup all the channels on the guide? I am really not apt to recording on my PC as I already have an HD DVR from Verizon. My house is ran with both cat5e and rg-6 coaxial cable. The FIOS tv is ran off of the coaxial cable.
If all I need is an HDTV tuner card, which card do you recommend?
