    There is a review of a HDTV tuner from Hauppauge on this website. Pinnacle also makes good TV tuners.

    You need the artec mini hd tv tuner. It looks better than cable.

    Yes, I have no cable, or satellite.

    MAKE SURE YOU HAVE POWERFUL CPU AND DECENT VIDEO CARD! A 2500+ with 1 gig of ram and a 9600 pro does not run hd channels well.
