Choosing Graphics and TV Cards for Home Theater PCs

HTPC hardware choices sometimes suffer from what math wizards like to call overdetermination. In plain English, this means they are subject to enough constraints to make simple, no-brainer solutions hard, and sometimes impossible. This is particularly true for graphics and TV tuner cards, where MCE compatibility requirements limit choices and options, and where HTPC use adds additional requirements to that mix.
