OK, I'd like to get a PCI based HDTV tuner for my PC, but I'm totally lost on what I should be looking for and what to expect. I willing to spend between $150 - $200, but no more than that. Is there anything out there to help out a newb?
I currently have a Leadtek 2000XP Deluxe.
(1) Would I have to keep my current TV tuner to get regular broadcast cable channels or would the HDTV tuner handle both DTV and regular cable channels?
(2) If the HDTV tuner only handles DTV content, then I'd have to have two TV tuners in my PC???
(3) I here that the ATI TV tuner is crap (even though AT gave it the thumbs up). Should I stay away?
(4) Would I have any problems running on a GeForce 6800GT?
