Hi People,

I am planning to make my old pc into a media center pc. Firstly I need to connect my pc to my old Sony TV which doesn't even have a s-video port. Please tell me how do I go about this ? Do I need to buy a graphics card or can a TV Tuner card do this for me ? I also need a remote control so that I can browse through the XP Media Center using the remote.
I was going through the following site..
I would also be recording TV programs into the pc.

Pinnacle Systems - Product summary - PCTV Tuner Kit for Windows Vista
Will this accomplish my task ?
Is there a cheaper solution ? I do not intent to spend a lot on these. What would be my best solution for the best picture quality from pc to tv.

Thanks a Lot.
