Can you guys recommend a TV tuner card that can pick up OTA HDTV? I'm going to use it with Vista Ultimate 64-Bit.

Thanks!

At least on the 32-bit Vista, my superb DViCo HTDV tuner would not work :(

Pity, since it had top notch IQ, great DXVA decode support, a very versatile remote, and otherwise excellent driver support :(

I'm currently using KWORLD ATSC-110 inside my x64 win rig in coupling with BeyondTV (PVR capability) since Xmas.
I also taped both NFC & AFC Conf games last Sunday w/o a glitch in its glorious 1080i. Be warned though, you need a huge hdd spare for taping 1080i/720p programmings.
This tuner that comes with both Vista or x64 driver doesn't cost a fortune to buy. I paid $32 (AR @ buy.com)
The BeyondTV 4.5 is a free bee too.
It gets my vote for best buy of the year since I finally got rid off that little ah heck ATI HDTV Wonder one.

What's antenna setup like with that card? I notice two connections are required. Can this be done with an antenna that sits on a desk, or does it require something large like an antenna that sits on the roof? Can you give any range estimates on these?
