    Is this any good? Which one is the good. I am looking for one to record shows to the HD than send them through my media extender to the TV.

    I use the Silicon Dust HDHomeRun. It's a bit more expensive than this, but I've never had to worry about complicated driver support.

    Awesome card. I use it with Windows Media Center and Comcast cable. Only does un-encrypted channels. For the encrypted channels you have to go through your cable box, or a very expensive ATI Cable Card solution.

    I use HDHomeRun as well. I haven't tried the Hauppauge, but had problems with tuner sensitivity on another brand PCI card. Something to consider if using antenna.

    #3 where are you located? And if you don't mind could you please list what channels you do actually get (I'm more interested in HD).

    I use the Acer Duet card - $60 white box, no issues with Vista (soon to be Win7) media centre. 2 ATSC/QAM tuners, one connection.

    $108.10 on Amazon no rebate + free shipping. Not a deal, sorry Ben.
