TV Tuner Card

[SmokeyVol]

Can anybody recommend a good one? I'm sloooooowly upgrading my PC.

I was looking at this one.

Amazon.com: Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-500MCE 2-Tuner PCI-Based Digital Video Recorder (NTSC): Electronics

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'm shopping around so thanks for the input!

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.
