Which TV tuner to buy?

[xpeter]

I am planning to buy me a TV tuner and I don't know which product to buy. I want a perfect
stability of drivers and perfect software. At the beginning I was looking for an ATI All-In-Wonder
but since I know it has no dual monitor support I am looking for something else. I can choose
between

Pinnacle PCTV Studio
Pinnacle PCTV Rave
AVER TV Studio

Or is there something better? I think ATI's the best but ATI TV Wonder is not possible to buy anymore.

I was at CompUSA about 2 days ago, and there were about 30 ATI TV Wonders and probably 10 ATI TV Wonder VE's on the shelf... ???

They certainly are not hard to buy.

How about Leadtek wintv ?

I ordered one based on reviews at here and newegg. Only $66 shipped.

Just got the Leadtek WinFast TV 2000 XP. Pretty cool so far. $62 at NewEgg was nice also.

Yeah I've heard good things about Leadtek, but has anyone some experience with
Pinnacle's TV tuner or the one from AVER media? Pinnacle is a french manufacturer
and AVER media should be US brand.

I would suggest Hauppauge.

Consider the PCTV Studio. From what I know of Pinnacle, the hardware quality is good and so is their software and support.

I'm using an AverTV tuner now. It's great but there are some software features that could be improved :-|

Oh...And it's cheap.
