Do you really need the dual tuner? I've seen horror stories with this card because there are 2 different types (A and B). They farmed the B-type out to Samsung and evidently screwed it up.

The PVR-150 is just the single tuner version of this card. It's got a great rep and can be found for $50-80 at online stores. (try pricegrabber.com for pricing)

I've been looking at getting one myself so I'm no expert. Keep me posted on what you decide!

I'm a big fan of ATI products. I hear good things about Hauppage... be sure to avoid Pinnacle. I had problems with one of those before.
