I want to make the switch from Comcast. I searched around to see if Directv would work with media center but all I can find is article from 2008 about how Directv stopped working on making their tuner compatible. But now its a year later and I can't figure out where this stands.
Does anyone have Directv and does it work with media center 7 for recording and playback? This would be a deal killer for me if it doesn't work, but I would love to break away from Comcast.

Thanks!
The Hauppauge 2250 tuner card works in Media Center with Direct TV, I'm sure there are others as well.
tried with vista and found all the channels, only thing is that when you change channel on pc tv also changes, they also have a directv2pc program on there site, never tried it though.
