    Parts needed for HDTV

    I'm just about to buy a 46in 1080p LCD TV and I would like to know what to look for in order to view HDTV and watch blue-ray movies on my HTPC.

    My current set up: Athlon 2600+ Abit NF7-s rev 2.0 512 Mo DDR333 Radeon 9200  MCE 2005 WinTV PVR 250 and a WinTV PVR150, works perfectly fine for normal digital TV.

    I also have this rig Athlon 64 3500+ K8NS Ultra-939 2048 Mo Corsair X800XL AGP as a main PC,  in which i'm willing to salvage parts from. In fact, I was hoping to use this as a basis for my new HTPC.. Would this be enough for my need? Also, since i'm a new IRT HDTV in a HTPC, I was wondering if my capture cards would still be usable?? If not, can I get some pointers for good capture card?

    One more question, I'm planning to buy only 1 HD receiver for now. Can I mix HD with digital on the same machine?

    Thanks!

    If you want to watch BluRay movies on your HTPC you are going to need an HDCP compliant video card. I would suggest checking out avs forums in their HTPC section.
