I agree, watching poker on mine right now.

I have the Hauppauge PVR-150 too, it's a decent enough TV card, but I don't like their software much.

can it do 1080i or just 720p?

SD 540. ATI has a card that does HD.

i got my ati hdtv wonder for about $95 on amazon a while ago (may/june), it also had a $20 rebate. not sure if they're still doing the rebate or if the price went down. i was able to pull 1080i off the air with a cheap radio shack antenna (i am <15 miles away from nyc in terms of line of sight) and running it no problem on my 1.7ghz mobile celeron. my tv only supports 1080i so i have no idea if it can do 1080p. i believe a lot of it is dependent on your video card though. check my sig for the build i was using.

i've been the entire series of ATI TV Tuner and ATI All in Wonders for all my PCs

they are great, good quality, audio, video, all sort of inputs and outputs, remotes, etc.

the best thing is their TIVO software

Hi there,

Some advice please. I am also looking for a relatively cheap TV card. Not much experience with these things. I was looking at the 'Leadtek WinFast TV2000 XP Expert PCI TV Tuner w/FM + Remote', but the supplier is out of stock. From the following list, which would you recommend (and a second incase they don't have stock):

1. Compro VideoMate X50 PCI TV Tuner w/FM + Remote
2. Asus My Cinema-P7131 PCI TV Tuner w/FM + Remote
3. MSI TV@nywhere Plus PCI TV Tuner
4. Pinnacle PCTV 40i TV Tuner
5. Pinnacle PCTV 50i TV Tuner w/Remote
6. Compro VideoMate X500 PCI TV Tuner w/FM + Remote
7. Compro VideoMate X800 PCI TV Tuner w/FM + Remote
8. Compro VideoMate P300 PCMCIA TV Tuner w/FM + Remote
9. Leadtek WinFast DV2000 PCI TV Tuner w/FM + Remote + Video Editing + FW
10. Hauppage WinTV-PVR-150 MCE PCI TV Tuner - OEM
11. Leadtek WinFast PVR2000 TV Tuner w/FM + Remote
12. Hauppage WinTV-PVR-500 MCE PCI TV Tuner - OEM

They are sorted in price order - lowest to highest.

Thanks for any help you can give.
