TV Card help

[Mavs]

Hope this is the right section for this.

Christmas is coming and that means i can finally get a TV Card

I have read that the Twinhan Ter D+A was a good TV Card, but that the Nebula DigiTC PCI TV card was better but more expensive. If anyone knows about those cards then is the Nebula worth the extra money?

Or is there another card that would be best?

Im from England by the way.

Yes, sorry forgot to mention that.

Any preferences between USB and PCI?

PCI, unless USB are better for some reason?

PCI would be easier as i have free slots where as im running out of USB slots.

I would perosnally recommend this card. I have the non freeview version of it, and i will highly recommend Hauppauge.

I agree

I agree with the last post about Hauppauge. I don't remember which one I have but the quality is great. Look here for some ideas. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...ice=&MaxPrice=&SubCategory=47&Submit=Property

Hauppage, their pretty easy to use. the PVR 350 is the one that i use, which is also the most expensive pci card.

I have the wintv-fm pci from hauppage, i've never had any problems with them, just make sure you know where to plug everything in. I once plugged in the cable tv in the fm radio connection, and i thought it was broken. Silly me. Get a hauppage.

ive had a happugae and a conexant tv tuner

they are both good IMO

Happugae and Nvidia both have dual tuners that can record two shows at once, although only work on XP Home with 3rd party software like BeyondTV or SageTV.
