I'm looking for advice on how best to connect my DirecTV HD receiver to my HTPC.
Here's the current list of hardware in play and how its all connected.
PC - Homebrew MCE 2005 with a NVidia GT6600 AGP card connected to HD plasma via DVI.
Samsung SIR-TS360 DirecTV receiver connected to Hauppauge 150mce via S-Video.
Audio via optical to SB USB to Sony Receiver.
The outputs on the Samsung receiver are DVI, Component, S-Video and composite. The inputs on the Hauppauge are only Coaxial and S-Video.
I've recently aquired a DVIco FusionHDTV card, but haven't installed it yet. The inputs on it are only Coaxial and S-Video.
So what I'm wondering is what are my options for connecting the receiver to the TV tuner card? Is the way I've got it connected now the best I can do (i.e. via S-Video)? Is there something else out there (card-wise) that I could use that would accept component or DVI?
