TV Tuner

What's the best quality of any TV Tuner(quality) ?

ATI comes up with the new chip Theatre 550Pro is now currently on sale by Sapphire right now. Does any one know how is the quality of that product? I've heard ATI's own TV Wonder Elite is coming up soon too, does anyone know what's the difference?

How are ATI's tv tuner compare to Hauppauge's tv tuner?

I've used Hauppauge's USB TV tuner and I was unhappy about the quality. I'm currently using Viewsonic's Nextvision N4, the quality is just ok. Can anyone suggest some quality tv tuner? Thank you.

I just bought a TV wonder elite (SAPHIRE version) The ONLY difference is that it comes with an IR remote, and not an RF remote. The ATI version is a complete wast of money imho unless you are using windows media center edition.

In theory it should be better than the happauge, but I have never used one. I can say it looks good to me, and installation was very easy. It als comes with a built in FM tuner

Can you elaborate? Do recorded AND live shows look good on your computer? Do they look good after being burned to a DVD and played on a TV?

Yes, recorded and live shows look good. I have not tried bruning anything to a DVD yet, and probably wont until I can fill one.
