HD TV Tuner Cards by ddunk on 08-27-2008 at 11:47 AM
Anyone have any recommendations?
I'm in the market for one. Doesn't need to be anything special, just want to be able to watch over-the-air (unencrypted) hd channels.
Price isn't a huge factor, but i want something decent but not too expensive.

Hauppauge always had nice TV tuner cards, used them with analog for a long time. They have HD tuners now, but their site seems down for me.
If you're on a 64bit OS, check driver support. When i moved to 64bit the drivers for their analogue cards weren't too great in 64bit.

I have a Pinnacle Systems PCTV HD Pro USB Stick, bought it like a year ago, it was around a 100 bucks.
Its great, it has an external antenna, it picked up the same amount of channels than my hdtv

Thanks guys. i'll take a look.
Is there any specific reason to go usb over pci or visa versa?

Look for one that has an external antenna, even if its a bit more bulky.
