im using AverMedia usb works for me. great picture i think for local news and such. Want to spend more money? have the extra slots for a dedicated video card tv card. depends on your needs and how much you want to spend. i just didn't want to use up the slots i got besides not being at the top of the list as needs. I did try the usb Happage i think its called. couldn't even boot with it. Windows 7 pro 64 thought it was a boot device. Avermedia center worked well also with windows media center.
