which HD tuner to go with for HTPC

[nairi]

I've read some reviews and i'm leaning towards the ATI one that includes an antenna to get OTA HD signals, are there any other ones that are possibly cheap or better than the ATI card?

go to avsforum site where you will see ton of topics debating of the same question. It's not an easy answer when you start factoring system config, display technology, window OS, and most importantly your personal preferences (HDTV vs SD etc.).
As for me, I have used the buggy ATI HDTV tuner which I think is OK but I'd not recommend it. Yes there are better ones out there. Try avsforum site and decide for yourself. Prepare to spend sometime there too. It's extremely informative!
