Does the WinTV have video out? You'll probably need a graphics card with output capabilities. A 5.1 channel sound card with digital out would be nice too. How big is your hard drive? The bigger the better. How much RAM and how fast is your CPU? Again, the more the better. You might want to look into getting a wireless remote liek the one ATI makes. I'm sure other companies make them too, I just haven't needed to look into it.
