Some questions about TV tuner cards.

1) Make sure the card you get supports ATSC (OTA-digital) and ClearQAM (cable)
2) I see a lot of people recommend the Hauppauge WinTV HVR 2250 dual tuner. I have this AverMedia AVerTV PCI-E tuner in my Windows XP MCE 2005 system.
3) Most of the problems I hear about concern the included software being buggy or having a poor interface. Since you're not running a Media Center OS, you're going to have to use the included software or some other 3rd party app.

Your system is more than enough to handle a TV Tuner card.

Thanks a lot for the inputs. I really appreciate them.

The White Box TV Tuner I have did not come with a remote. I picked up a stand-alone MCE Remote and Keyboard for my living room system.

For the bedroom (running Vista) I have this Pinnacle MCE Remote and this NMedia PC Keyboard

The MCE Remote Control, I give a 5 out of 5 stars. Comfortable to hold, easy to use. Scrolling through 150+ movies and 900+ songs is a breeze.
The Microsoft MCE Keyboard gets 4 out of 5 stars. The nub for mouse control is a pain and would have been better served with a trackball.
The Pinnacle Vista Remote Controll gets 4 out of 5 stars as it tends to "go to sleep" too soon and needs a number of button presses to wake up.
The NMediaPC Keyboard gets 3 out of 5 stars only because it's default setup has the 1/3rd of the keys mis-represented. The keyboard reverts to this faulty setting every time if goes to sleep and takes a function key combination to return to the correct settings.
