I got this for $30 after rebate from buy.com. It works well for the price.

does this do for your PC what the digital-analog-converter box does for your analog TV?

This works well with clear qam as well. I set this up with Vista Media Center as a test a while back when MS released the TVPack for QAM support. It worked well with some fiddling... (yes I am a fiddler)
