Hey Guys, I have looked around and I still can't decide to which one I should good. Everyone was telling me to go with Hauppauge, but my friend told me to go with LeadTek. I found one that I like (WinFast PxDVR3200 H (http://www.leadtek.com/eng/tv_tuner/overview.asp?lineid=6&pronameid=377)) but I can't find any reviews or where I can buy this. So if you guys can recommend me some of your choices, that might help me make my final decision. (I am look for PCI-E Interface Card). Thx for all the help!
P.S. Fusion:up: :welcome:

I will link you this thread where we had a short discussion about them. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=176603
Just not while they might say HD on the box that means nothing.
Most of them support higher than 720p resolutions but that is irrelevant.
For real HDTV signal broadcast that is just poking his head out you will need a different card that specifically can recive that.
Tuners that support that are presently sold only as a rare few set top boxes and cost around 5x as much.
As for the card quality: theay are mostly the same, to dependant on the software they decite to give you, an it WILL have oh so many bugs and quirks. You will have to live with them or go the windows media center route if you want any support and bug updates in the future...
