All TV tuner cards don't do PVR on their own; they are software dependent. You'll have to use a choice of software to do PVR: PowerCinema, Media Center Edition with DVD decoder, GB-PVR, SageTV, BeyondTV, WinTV-PVR, SnapStream Media, CTpvr, MediaPortal, etc.

Yes, I am from Canada. I'm surprised. There's no Bell in U.S.? Hmm...

There's a work-around for MS-DVR into DVD.. Rather a bad way. Hook up a DVD recorder set-top to MCE's video-out and record from there then burn on DVD.. Closed caption will be hardcoded onto video screen which you can't really turn off CC -- it's called open caption. I don't think that method is exactly what hearing people want to do. We're still asking MCE SVP people to make a conversion from MS-DVR to MPEG-2 or VOB with CC stream embedded which we can easily import them into our DVD authoring software to finalize a disc. They made DVR2WMV but that's not what I'm looking for...
