Hi, sorry to hijack this thread. I hope to get my queries answered here as soon as possible :)
I've received words from Ban Leong that the Powercolor Theater 650 Combo is no longer for sale.

1.) May I know what is the best PCI-E based tuner in the market right now?
2.) May I know where can I purchase the tuner (mentioned in Q1)
3.) What are the specifications and problems that I should be aware of when I purchase a tuner?

- All these questions are based on the assumption that I've no budget restraints.

Sorry to dig thread.

Anyone wants to give away the free black pointer-like antenna that comes with Hauppauge HVR? Do PM me if you have one. Thanks! :)

ps: will pay for it if price is reasonable. i know some ppl diss that piece of equipment but it works fine for me since my area can get good signals.

pps: pls don't shoot me for asking for a freebie... :(

Hi. I initially wanted to get the starhub hd hubstation to record cable tv programmes from channels like AXN. But the setop box rental is way too expensive.

Which tv tuner (internal pci card also no problem ) should i buy to record cable tv programme direct from my set top box? I want good quality recording without lag and be able to choose recording quality to reduce the size of recorded programmes.

If can watch HD5 on my tv is a bonus.

dug out this thread ...

My friend is looking for a TV card and he only has free PCI Express x1 slots.

Any recommendation for a budget card?
Or USB ones good?

THanks!

On the other hand, I'm looking for a standalone non pci or usb box that can be directly connected to monitor. The AVerTV Hybrid STB was my choice until i read the review that it sucks to the core. So sad, tot could get nicely upscaled free to air tv programmes. Any fresh ideas what else is good? thanks.
