just go for hauppauge, no need to look elsewhere

I would get one that supports various resolutions or can even pick up television across the world if there was such a tuner.

It depends more on the software you use rather then the tuner itself. My tunner is a "Xtreme Bt848" and is okay for the most part running on most software I can get nice footage but I wont be recording any high definition movies anytime soon.

Never forget that when you do record to convert it to a media type for easier storage rather leaving it RAW.

is there such tuners that allow you to watch stations from around the world? i though you could only get the stations from whree you plugged your cord in from. if there is a method to watch the TV of other countries im in!
