    Hey everyone, ive been looking for a tv tuner for some time now, I don't know much about them so Im asking everyone here. I have a DVR (not tivo) that is almost full, and I'd like to put most of its contents onto dvds to fill up more space on the DVR. I want one that is fully compatible with my system, I dont know if some don't work with MCE. I saw this one, but I would just like one thats a decent price (preferably less than 80 dollars) and with good video quality) Thanks.

    Hauppauge is very well known and well used.

    Is there a way to connect the DVR to the computer directly?

    not Dish Networks DVR, there is a usb port in the back of it, but I was told my a few people at Dish Network that it would only work with DN's PocketDish thing. Lame :p. Thanks Sleepy Guy.
