TV tuner recommendation?

[algae]

Just want to watch a little tv while working on the pc once in a while. I
have no idea what to buy or if it works well. Any recommendations?
Thx

ATI All In Wonder (radeon 7000)

or

ATI TV Wonder

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Leadtek Winfast 2000XP Deluxe - Much higher quality out of the box than ATI

 

[matrixwalker]

ALL IN WONDER 9000 Pro (remote included free)
ALL IN WONDER 9600 Pro (FM Tuner built in too) (remote included free)
ALL IN WONDER 9800 Pro (remote included free)
TV Wonder VE
TV Wonder Pro
TV Wonder VE Remote Control Edition
TV Wonder Pro Remote Control Edition

*MULTIVIEW (picture in picture) is possible with any of those three all in wonder cards with either a TV Wonder VE or Pro PCI card.

VE is just pure crap on its own. However, it's perfect for using as a secondary Tuner with the all in wonders.

Don't get All in wonder VE, it's PCI video card, it's based off old technology, and doesn't work with MULTIVIEW and doesn't come with a remote.

The ATI Remote is unique that it is a RF remote and does not require line of sight with receiver.

Other alternatives:

Hauppage DTV Card
Hauppage HDTV Card

agree with AgaBooga. go with Leadtek . just got it a week ago and wow .... for $50.00 U get a nice software bundle, remote control and FM tuner. not to mention PVR functionality and can record FM audio in mutiple formats and decent image quality. had it up and running in 15 mins ..... oh ... and also have a system very similar to URS and the CPU usage is only 2% to 8% with multiple browser windows open
