Tv Tuner?

[Rassler]

I've just moved into my dorm and i don't have enough money for a Tv so i thought i'd just buy a tv tuner for my comp and watch cable that way..... what's a cheap but reliable card to buy? ATI????

Out of the Tv-tuners me and my friends own, the best one in terms of quality and performance would have to go to the TV-Wonder (non VE and non USB edition). I own a generic cheap one called Tview99, it is alright, but IMO, my friend's ATI Tv wonder beats mine as well as my other friend's Hauppauge WinTV.

Go <A HREF="http:// http://www.ati.com/na/pages/products/pc/tv_wonder_ve/index.html" target="_new">here</A> and scroll to the bottom of the page to see a comparison of the two. In terms of quality, both are exactly the same. If you like the extra bells and whistles, the non-VE has s-video in and can also encode video into MPEG-1 format. If you don't care about that stuff, go with the Value Edition.

Also, the regular (non-VE) has some extra features in the software.
