USB HDTV tuner working under Vista 64-bit

Hello, here's my problem.

I want an HDTV USB 2.0 Tuner card that will works under both Windows XP home edition (32bit) AND Vista Home Premium 64-bit. My new system is dual-boot and I want that card to work under both OS.

I looked around and saw the ATI TV Wonder 650 that seems OK, but it's only PCI. With PCI on it's way out (for the last 4 years ), I don't want to go this way, so using USB looks much more safe in the long term, unless ATI has an USB version that I'm not aware of.

Anybody here can suggest any good product. I'll use that to search which one will be the best fro me. My price range goes (can$, about 5% from US$) from 100 to 175$, max 200$. All I need is for it to be able to record TV (both regular and HD, 1080P ideally), and put my old tape to DVD. I have all that is needed to clean the resulting tape.

Thanks for your suggestions.

The Hauppauge 950 USB hybrid hdtv tuner would be your answer. It is vista premium ready so you will be able to use it on xp and 64bit vista. http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/pro [...] vr950.html is the link to more product info.

ATi does have a TV wonder 600 USB model coming out slated for September, with support for Svideo and Composite input;

I like the Hauppauge solution, but since I can't get ATSC here in CowTown I'm looking to replace my current USB TV wonder with something I can hook up to my external tuners as well. The ATSC tuner though will be nice for when I visit the family in Toronto and Ottawa or travel to Vancouver, but otherwise I'm in no rush so I'm waiting for the quality showdown between the Hauppauge and the ATi, since I can always swap between two solutions if the ATi doesn't match the quality of the Hauppauge.

The reason I wouldn't go with the Hauppauge right now, is no hardware MPEG encoder so CPU utlilization is just as high as my current model. Same situation with the ATi 600 USB though, so no improvement fro either.

Other options for you from smaller companies with other inputs are;

The DViCO FusionHDTV5 which has both ATSC capability and Video-in;

They mention VISTA support in their FAQ but not on the spec page.

The FujiPlus (I wouldn't recommend really);

Yeah and now that I saw the HP HDX Dragon just go online for sale in the US, I might not need one of these since it has a truely built-in ATSC tuner w/ Svideo/Composite x-jack adapter. So I might not need to worry about it anymore.

Anywhoo, I hope you can find something in Mtl, but you may have to order it online (either that or 401 road trip to T.O. or go 15 south into Plattsburgh).
