HDTV Tuner card / Screen: Monitor vs. LCD HDTV

I'm building a new desktop and want to put a HDTV Tuner card in it so that I can use the computer as a media center. I want it to have a remote. Anyone have any experience or suggestions? Any comments about using a computer as s DVR are appreciated.


Also, I have the normal monitor question. I'm looking to get a bigger monitor for poker as well to watch my recorded shows. Do i want a pc monitor or a LCD HDTV? If I go with a LCD HDTV to use as my screen, what do I need to make sure it has so that my computer picture quality is excellent? Also, is it better for me to get two 20 inch pc monitors, or one 26 inch LCD TV? Or what size LCD TV should I get? Does pokerstars/fulltilt run at a certain resolution best?



Thanks for the help.

Friend steals UM flag off car

Before the OSU/UM game, my friends and I are out throwing the football in the yard next to a fraternity. A Michigan Fan in a Suburban with UM decals, 2 window flags, and a UM flag on the back windshield has the nerve to cruise down 17th. My friend runs after the car and rips the flag off. He then runs it back and we attempt to burn it, but have no substance to get it started. This is where the video starts. We eventually get tiki torch fluid and light the bitch up...but thats not on the video.

Anyway, its just funny that I wake up today and find some random had video taped it and posted it.

I'm the dude with the heisman jersey on...i mean the white T. Smith jersey as my friend gets back to the yard...

Go ahead and post "OSU fans are the worst" blah blah bullshit...but there is no idiotic crusing down 17th street. I'd guess that his car got fucked up by other fans. Sooo stupid. Check out the comments. lol[/url]

Weird Internet Problem

So yesterday I'm checking my email (Hotmail and Gmail) and talking on AIM...then today when I wake up, none of it works. The weird thing is that I can visit any other website, but when I login to Hotmail and Gmail, it time outs. For AIM, it gets to Step #2 (Verifying Name) and then it time outs. I didn't change ANY settings...didn't close ports or anything. I thought Hotmail was just down, but I went to the computer lab and everything worked. Any suggestions? Cause i'm seriously never been so pissed...
