Hey guys, I'm in same situation as the OP. I need a cheap Hardware based TV Tuner. I would like to keep it under $50. I looked at the Hauppauge WinTV 150 but at $68, it's out of my budget. I looked at the ATI TV Wonder 200, and it looks pretty good, but I can't tell if it has a hardware decoder. Am I missing anything?
I also have another related problem. (sorry for the hijack) I have recently aquired a ExpressCard TV tuner from a HP laptop. Windows detects it fine, but because the card was made/designed by HP, they do not provide software for the card. Do you know of any FREE software I could use to use this card? (That's not a trial version. Currently using a 21 day trial of Beyond TV)
Thanks for anything!!
