I am looking to buy a PCI (or PCI express) NTSC TV Tuner. I am currently in the process of a new build and are looking for some suggestions ? Can anyone help ?

I currently have and GA-7N400 Pro2 with an All-in-wonder that has an integrated tuner. From some other questioning, I gathered these are a thing of the past and it is best to go the dedicated PCI route. Any suggestions ?
 
I have a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2250, and it's dang nice. Love the dual tuner and the PVR function.
Comes with a remote control and IR pickup that works with Win Media Center.
Soon I'll be setting it up as an HTPC so I'll have more to say then.

BTW, I've tried a couple of the cheaper ones, I gave away 2 of them and the third can rot in my desk for all I care. Spend the money and get the good stuff.

Worth a serious look.
 
+1 for Hauppauge...used their PCI cards in the past, and was very impressed. Quality and product support was second to none, IMHO. There are cheaper alternatives, but...they are cheaper for a reason. :thup:
