Hello, I'm looking to buy a new TV Tuner to replace my current one, the quality of which is rather awful. I'm not really sure where to start looking; the only name I know anything about is Hauppauge. And from the few reviews I just read, apparently the analog TV Tuner gives a less-than-adequate image... at least, for the PVR 150. The minimum I'm looking for is a hardware MPEG encoder, a fair image, and the ability to receive both regular cable and composite (RCA, maybe S-Video) inputs with fair quality on both. Good bundled software would help... my search for acceptable free software in the past never proved very fruitful. My budget is about $150 CAD. Any suggestions? Thanks, Laogeodritt --Laogeodritt

I have a Hauppauge PVR150 and the image is good. I am very satisfied with their products.
