    I have a Hauppauge 950Q, it works great in Media Center. I have never heard of that one, but the 950Q costs around $70.

    i dunno where you live but where i live you cannot pick up hd terrestrial signals the only way to get hd for me is though satellite or cable

    ps: it still looks good as you can record or watch analogue video sources, i wish my tv tuner card could do that.

    I have an eVGA inDtube, and yes it can pick up HD signals. The only problem is that the stock antenna isn't very good where I live. However, with a strong signal, quality is excellent. I haven't heard of the specific model you linked to, though. inDtubes go for around $80.

    Thank you guys for the input. Well, seems like this model is a great deal then. Might be a crappy brand perhaps lol, compared to the ones you guys use.
