>Rs 1000 = TechCom ssd 670 plus (Rs 700)
>Rs 2000 = Compro TV FM PVR (Rs 1850)or Pixelview Pro 3(Rs 1500)
>Rs 2500 = Pinnacle 110i (Rs 2400)(Although I didnt find this one worth paying extra for but still lots of people here suggests this one..remember its the 110i (the good old 50i with a new packeging..nothing else)and not the 100i which costs around 4k

All of these are Vista capable but TecCom one has problem supporting Win Vista Media center...although the bundled Honestech TV pro and WinDVR works fiine.


My suggestion would be compro TV FM PVR M200..its the best of the lot...comes with the best ever remote Ive ever seen !!!!Very good vista and MCE support
