you could try the Leadtek Winfast TV2000XP Deluxe Tuner card, can be had from Newegg for under $50 bucks. Other than that, you could look at the Hauppauge Tuners, they are great, but a little more pricey.

Hauppage are decent... I have an ATI TV Wonder but most people hate them.. I don't have a problem with it personally. it sure was a good price.

My choice would also be the Leadtek TV2000XP Deluxe tuner card. Just just go one myself and I love it.

Go with the Leadtek. You can find lots of community support from the forums if you have any problems. And Leadtek is good with driver/app updates. So far I've had no problems with mine, and it is now one of my essential pieces of hardware that I couldn't fathom living without.

The Leadtek Winfast TV2000 XP EXPERT (~$59) uses the newer Conexant CX2388x chip; while the Leadtek Winfast TV2000 XP DELUXE (~$48) should be avoided as it uses the very old BT878 chip. (Prices found at directron.com, which is currently O.O.S. of the EXPERT version).

Have you been able to find an Expert though? All I've been able to find, even months after introduction, are Deluxes.
