The Bottom Line The AVerMedia TVBox 9 is a simple device that allows you to turn any computer monitor into a television. Of the external TV tuners we've seen, we recommend the Diamond XtremeTV PVR600 above the others for its strong image quality and inclusion of A/V cables and a remote control. The Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB2 offers admirable image quality, but you'll need to bring your own A/V cables. The Plextor PX-HDTV500U Mini Digital HDTV Receiver provides a cheap and easy way to watch and record HDTV on your PC. We recommend this compact tuner and antenna kit particularly for laptops that feature Microsoft's Media Center app. Aptly named, the ATI TV Wonder Elite is easily the best PC TV tuner card we've seen.
