im thinking about getting a tv tuner for my computer but i would like a resolution of 1280x1024. i cant find a resolution for the hauppauge cards but i think they are like 720xsomething..

any suggestions?

well, 1280x1024 isn't a standard tv display, so it's unlikely to be a very popular output for tv tuners.

generally speaking 1280x720 (720p), 1920x1080 (1080p), and 960x540 (540p) are the high res outputs. I think 720x480 is standard definition.

I just ordered a DualTV MCE by nVidia for the htpc i'm building... it only does analog, but i don't have many digital stations in my area anyway

720x480 is what i found most of them to be, so then ill be looking for 720p or higher.
