question about TV tuner cards

Hi all,
I have a question for anyone who has used one of these .

Here is my dilemma. I remodeled my office which means the small TV that was in here is gone due to lack of room. This was no problem until now. Baseball season is couple weeks away and I want to watch the Mariners. I figured they were going to suck so I wouldn't care, but then they brought Griffey back so now I am interested again.

So I thought I would try one of these TV tuner cards or I see they also sell a device that allows you to hook your cable to your computer via a usb card.

My question is when you watch TV can you do this in a smaller window while still working? I want to be able to work, but want to have a small window open where I can watch the game as well.

Anyone ever used one of these things? Are they worth giving a shot?

Thanks in advance.
