    Whats a good PC Tv Tuner add on device to get?

    I want a TV Tuner card or actually preferably an external device I could connect up to my PC so I can watch TV on my desktop, play PS2/XBox via s-video input on my 21" Viewsonic. I'd also like the option to record either tv or my video game playing in decent quality.

    I was looking at the ATI external TV tuner card which uses USB 2.0 and is $99 and also the Pinnacle Mediacenter 100e version which is $119. Can anyone recommend if either of these are good or if you know of a good external device that would do what I need it to do?

    Thanks!

    I had the ATI VE which was around 49 dollars MSRP, the lowest quality one. He produced good enough quality, at best TV quality. I can't recommend anything really, but you SHOULD be alright with either one. ATI seems like a good brand.

            yeah i would go with ati all in wonder but it's a do-all card and my new machine will have the 6800 GT in it so that's no go. I'll have to read reviews of the haupage PVR as i'm not real familiar with them. do they have good software that is similar to the win xp media center o/s ?
