I have an older PC that I would like to use as a DVR. We have OTA TV with Roku, but I want to record the OTA programs when I need to. I am looking at TV tuner cards and an external hard drive. The machine is
Dell Optiplex 745
Processor : Intel Core ™2 CPU 6400@2.13 GHZ
RAM: 4 GB
32-bit OS
Hard drive: 149 GB total, 99 free
Video
256 MB ATI Radeon X1300PRO
Currently it has Windows Vista Business. I could upgrade to Windows 7 to get WMC, but is there another way to do this?
Thanks,
Bill
