I need a TV Tuner

[sabooya]

Im looking to buy a TV tuner but Im having a hard time decide. They all seem to be very low quality products :/

I would PREFER an external tuner with remote, but i want to get the best I can and not spend more then $100. My displays 16:10 resolutions, 1680x1050 being my native.
Any suggestions?

ones based on ati theater pro 650 are not bad, not great either

what do you need to run it for ? OTA HDTV? ClearQAM cable?

HDTV would be nicer

Antenna for hdtv, or clearQAM?

You need to let us know what source you would be getting your TV from. Is it analog? QAM? Cable box? If it's a cable box what are your output options.

Or you can just but the best thing out there.

The HD-PVR is just awesome. I have one and I love it, it's the shit if you want to record 720p.


BUT, you'll also want to buy a copy of SageTV (or wrestle with freeware GB-PVR).
