I'm looking for a TV tuner with ATSC/ClearQAM/(maybe NTSC - not sure if there's any purpose for that any more)
I'm open to most any type of tuner. I'd kind of prefer an internal card, if so that would have to be PCI. Otherwise USB or a fully external box is ok. The fully external ones intrigue me, especially because they can work without a PC so if all I wanted was to watch TV I could. Then again I could just get a digital tuner box to do that for a bit less money.
Need suggestions for cards that work well, more so than online reviews or user reviews like Newegg. Basically I want good quality tuning ability and especially non-flaky software, for Vista most importantly or XP/Server 2003 if I put it in my WHS box for DVRing. Use with alternate programs or DVR type software is a plus.
Let me know what you've used, if there are brands or models to avoid, or anything else useful!
