Someone recommend me a good TV tuner card for my computer!

ATI makes the Theater 550 pro chip which can interface with PCI or PCI express. A quick search of newegg however only shows them carrying the PCI versions. Also it's still only standard TV not HDTV.

I'm afraid you're wrong. 🙁

I'm pretty sure old PCI works in new PCI express slots (not the other way around).
overseeing the PCI interface standard.
Intel, in partnership with several other companies which include the likes of IBM, Dell, Compaq, HP and Microsoft, recently introduced what will be the new standard for PC I/O in the years to come; PCI Express (formerly 3GIO or 3rd Generation I/O) is the name which it was given by PCI-SIG, the committee responsible for overseeing the PCI interface standard.

Approved as a standard on April 17 2002, PCI Express is an evolutionary upgrade to the existing PCI bus. It co-exists with the now 'legacy' PCI bus, but in terms of form, it is something completely new.

You're misreading that. What they mean is that you can place classic PCI slots on mobo's that also have PCI express slots.

Pretty sure it only tunes HDTV...not 100% though, but you should definitely find out before you buy if you need regular TV reception.

Thats what i thought he was asking, I just wanted him to know that conventional PCI will work with the new PCI express but not the other way around.
My link doesn't seem to work. here's another Text

 
not the ATI TV Wonder VE that's for sure. it's ok for me when i want to watch something the g/f doesn't. but for recording and actual quality it blows.

To be 100% clear: I am saying that you CAN NOT place a PCI card in a PCI express slot. The two aren't even physically compatible. They are talking about SOFTWARE compatability over on ARS -- not hardware. That is, you can boot an OS that only supports the PCI bus, and it will recognize PCIe cards, so long as they have drivers for said OS. That is ALL they're saying.
