&lt;p&gt;Dave that was a good video something I,ll definatly refer back to! I just couple mnor questions if you would had more allowable time for the video would you have gone for an all in one setup on the tuner card and ant particular reason you did not use an AMD platform as one of the builds! Im going to&amp;nbsp;add a AIW 5000 to&amp;nbsp;an existing computer I,ve I have just curious why you used exclucise Intel ! Also Im looking forward to checking out the AIW 5000 always wanted an AIW way back when but they are marked improvements from then and now!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Heya amdcrankitup,This video is pretty dated now but if I were to do it again, actually I&amp;#39;d probably go with a new AMD Zacate / Brazos system and a dedicated tuner card.&amp;nbsp; The other way to go for a bunch more horsepower if you need it, would be Intel SandyBridge and a dedicated tuner card.&amp;nbsp; We have a new HTPC build coming with Mat Miranda on our team that will look at SB solutions.&amp;nbsp; Marco just looked at some AMD base solutions here: &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://hothardware.com/Reviews/AMD-Fusion-Hits-Retail-Zotac-and-Gigabyte-E350s-Tested/"&gt;http://hothardware.com/Reviews/AMD-Fusion-Hits-Retail-Zotac-and-Gigabyte-E350s-Tested/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
