But since all hardware is not created equal, this handy guide should help you determine which tuner card gets the best reception.

| Review summary | It'll take a little tweaking to get the most out of ATI's latest All-In-Wonder, but for the price, this TV tuner/DVR/radio tuner/graphics card is a fair deal. | ATI's All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro brings together high-end gaming prowess and home entertainment. | One of the first Nvidia-based self-contained 3D-graphics/TV-tuner cards, eVGA's Nvidia Personal Cinema 5700 is adequate for anyone who wants to watch and record TV and play games on the same PC. |
