TV Tuner Cards

[Toast]

I want to add cable tv viewing capability to my PC setup. I'm in the market for a good quality external or internal TV tuner card.

I have no clue where to get good solid reviews. This is a scary product to buy because most TV tuners seem to be absolute garbage.

any recommendations/guidance here? Thank you,

Didn't we just have this thread?

I had a Hauppage one a while back (when I was in college and had two PCs and cable but no TV).  It worked pretty well, and only cost something like $20.  I heartily endorse it.

I also have a Hauppage, the only prob I had was that I had to upgrade the firmware and the viewing program before it was able to sych correctly with my cable system.  Has worked great ever since.

The market moves fast enough that the forums are more useful than the reviews.

Sorry about that. I didn't even realize to look for PVR in the title. Thanks for the suggestions.
