computer ATSC tuner suggestions?

[Fgsilva]

Hey all,

just got a new computer. It came with analog tuner so I was thinking about upgrading to digital tuner. I checked online (google search) for ATSC tuner and found this one

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1632017&CatId=1427

for $60.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Did you read the reviews of the card on the Tiger Direct site? There appears to be an issue with Windows Media Center 2005, but otherwise it sounds like a good deal.

I paid $110 for my ATI HDTV Wonder, and am pleased with it.

Also, be sure tour PC has a VERY good video card, not just the plain vanilla card that comes with off the shelf PC's, but a near top of the line video card, plenty of processing power and minimum 512 MB of RAM One gig is better.

Jim,

Did you get the HDTVWonder working with Windows Media Center? It seems like Haupage is the way to go for Media Center.

I have the HDTVWonder running on XP Pro and I find the software / interface to be clunky. The PQ sure does work nice though!

I don't use Media Center - just XP Pro with the ATI software. It's in an old Dell GX400 - 1.7GB CPU, 1GB RDRAM, 80GB HD. Now that I have the 622 I don't really use the HTPC that much.
