    Hi,
    I'm looking for a TV tuner for a G1S laptop thus i've been looking for a USB device but also read that those do not give very good video quality i was wondering if anyone had any input on what would be the best sub $100 tv tuner for a laptop using either USB2, firewire or the express card?

    Kolyan

    PS; most likely i would be projecting this to a secondary display (22") so video quality is quite important to me.

    Consider the Pinnacle USB HDTV tuner.

    For that price you might as well take an ati tv wonder 650 usb... It has all the hardware for video decoding so your cpu doesn't suffer as much as with the plain usb stick tuners...
