    Laptop Magazine gave this TV Tuner, a very high rating and it seems it's the best rated tuner on the market:

    I'm still waiting for the wireless cable unit do out soon. At my office we have cable in a few rooms, but not mine. So, I could use a wireless unit to hijack cable...ahhh, more destuction for my productivity.

    In my experience the best tuner's are the ATI All-in-wonder cards. However the only laptops I know of that have these are Sagers, but for your desktop it works great.
