    Is anyone using a HDTV tuner with their m11x? I've always had great luck with Hauppauge products in the past so I was thinking about picking up a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-950Q. I know that the 950 supports Win7-64 but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with how it interacts with the Optimus system, or other product suggestions.

    Mwaldron - I use the Hauppage 950. Picked up from Best buy. The little antennae that comes with it is weak, I would pick up the one that looks like rabbit ears for 10.99. Other than that it is a great product. I dont bother to install their app, I downloaded the Windows Media Center plugin and use it instead. All in all not a bad product for OTA HD at around 60 bucks.

    BW,

    Sweet, thanks for the confirmation. It's between the Hauppauge and the AverMedia at this point.

    I've always had great luck with Hauppauge products. The AverMedia stuff is still somewhat new to me (I have only owned 1, but it's working like a champ).
