What is a good HDTV tuner card for the PC?

[jtvang125]

I'm looking for one for my htpc running 32bit VMC. I'm getting tired of reaching for 2 remotes everytime I want to switch between the htpc and ota tv. I'm really just looking for good reception and can integrate smoothly with VMC's interface and the MS MC remote. Recording isn't a very big priority.

Are you looking for OTA or QAM. For QAM I would suggest the HD Homerun, it does both QAM and ATSC (OTA) and is a dual tuner. It's really the best and most versitile digital tuner out there. I'm not the only one on these forums with one, and I know other can vouch for it's awesomeness. Plus support is amazing on the product, and firmware software updates are very frequent.

i don't have one, but i sure read time and time again at places like avs and snapstream from users that they rock

I have one as well and will say it's works well with Vista MCE. Plenty of cards support QAM but very very very few do it in media center!

I have the HD Homerun too and it's pretty much the best tuner out there.
