HDTV PCI Tuner Card & USB HDTV Tuner Chart

I've used Hauppauge and ATI but I luv mah Fusion RT5 Gold. The timeshifting function was a little buggy so I disabled it - I never used it anyway.

For a single tuner, the PVR-150 is a good choice and the PVR-500 is good as well if you want dual tuners, as it's just 2xPVR-150 put together.

For HD, you could look at a PVR-1800.

All this is from Hauppage.
