| The Bottom Line | Whether you're looking to turn your PC into a DVR or simply want to watch TV on your desktop, the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-150 does the job at a reasonable price. | Aptly named, the ATI TV Wonder Elite is easily the best PC TV tuner card we've seen. | Hauppauge's WinTV-PVR-500 MCE is a good choice if you want to record two programs simultaneously, but it assumes you have a Media Center remote and the correct decoding software. | 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 WinTV-HD offers an inexpensive and easy way to view and record HDTV via your PC. |
