I mean, what's the best TV-tuner out there? thanx

Keep in mind that a computer monitor is much higher resolution (usually) than a tv signal typically puts out. For me - being in Canada and all - it's not worth the expense. I debated getting a TV tuner card for months. They're all up around $350 here. Ended up buying a 19" tv for $249 instead. Can't argue with that. Though the software for that USB one is apparently pretty nifty. $0.02. ad -- Because I can!

You would need to have a semi-professional Miro product if you want to talk about video capture... Anyway, I have a SONY KV-FQ75D 29" FD Trinitron WEGA TV (new SONY "Art Couture" line of products) and I'm very satisfied...
