What is the capture card in HP media center PCs (for example the d4650y)

[trossin]

Anyone know what HP ships in their media center type PCs such as the d4650y? They charge $79 bucks for a single tuner with remote. Does it have hardware MPEG compression? I can't seem to find this info out from a google search nor HP's web. Is it worth getting the card or should I just buy a PVR-150 for $68?

The answer is that it is a Hauppauge PVR-150. How about that. HP was faster than videohelp.com. A first for me!
