Edit: From what I could google, the answer is NO. However, if you have another PC with recorded TV, you can (with some jumping through hoops) cast your Windows Media Center recordings to your TV. That might be an option. There is also this blog about this very subject. Interesting but the blogger finally says 'not going to happen (at present)'.

I like how the logo is the Chrome logo but with an eye on it.

Update: Here is my current thinking ...
Re the TV Tuner ... I went with a 'Ceton InfiniTV 6' that I have ordered from Amazon. It started at $300 (same as newegg) and dropped (and dropped) last weekend. I ended up ordering it at $199. A couple of days afterwards it was back up to $230 and now ... it is at $270. I finally managed to time a purchase when the price was in my favour.

motherboard is socket am3+ while cpu is socket fm2.
500w is way too much. the tpd of your cpu is 65w max. on-board graphics really benefits from high frequency ram. 1866 is fine. 2133 is marginally better. no more, though. is 2tb enough? maybe buy two or three wd red 2tb and raid them?

I actually found two 2Gb 1600s that came with my home PC (I upgraded to 4x4Gb) so I will be using those in the HTPC. Thanks for looking over my specs and responding.

You can run AMD chips on a >150W supply. I'd recommend a 300W 80% gold (or whatever cert it is) to be safe.
