    TV Tuner

    Instead of buying a TV I'm thinking about just getting a tuner card instead. Any ideas on what would be my best bang for my buck?

    I just bought a Leadtek TV2000 for 51 dollars of Newegg. It comes with a remote and stuff and all the reviews were promising so I hope its fine. I bought it for college.

    I have the TV 2000XP, it works very well, and has many options for saving the videos.

    The only problem I have is timeshifting does me no good, so basically rewinding live tv is not an option, which I thought was when I bought it, but oh well, it gets the job done, and well.
