So far I have been looking at three TV tuner cards for my new system with remotes...

Asus TV FM Card w/ Remote
AVerMedia UltraTV PCI 350
Leadtek WinFast TV2000 XP Expert w/ Remote Control
Sapphire Theatrix Theatre 550 Pro High Definition PC TV-Tuner w/Remote

I have read a lot of reviews praising the AVerMedia card but I would like to get a few other opinions from this board.

I looked at the equivalent ATI version of the Sapphire and it's too expensive at almost $200 CDN as opposed to under $100. From what I have read however the ATI Remote Plus that it bundled with is one of the best ones out there and I was wondering if anyone else has found a remote that works well.

All I am looking for though is something that can play my MP3s off of Winamp and preferably uses a RF frequency so that line of sight isn't an issue, also it would be nice if the remote could control the mouse like the Remote Wonder line made by ATI.

I'd go with the Sapphire 550. It has the highest quality compression of the cards mentioned above. I'd have bought this card if I already didn't have a decent card.....
