I am looking to add a tuner card to my PC. I want something with a remote control and input for VCR or DVD or whatever.

Any recommendations?

Where is it available? It's sold out everywhere I am looking...and do you have it or just know about it? Reviews are mixed.

One of our designers here has the ATI AIW (All In Wonder) HDTV and he swears by it.

Cool...sounds good...thanks for the info

ATI All In Wonders rock!!!

And you dont' need the top of the line either. I've had the same one for a couple years now and it still works fine. TV isn't like video games, in the sense that you don't need to biggest and best card.

It can be a little processory intensive at times, but with the computer speeds now-a-days, its not really an issue anymore.

Go with Hauppauge products.

Another vote for the Hauppauge WinTV PVR series of cards.
I have the PVR-150mce and use it with Windows MCE...works great.

But, personally, if I was blowing a lot of cash to make the perfect media pc...I would rather just get a tivo. Windows MCE, BeyondTv, SageTV, and MythTV while all being great software still do not come close to the usability and stability of a tivo.

yup.. i love the ATI HDTV wonder. you get:

-the HDTV tuner
-normal TV Tuner.
-Tivo like recording software
- RF remote (better than Infra-red)

pair this baby up with a nice widescreen LCD, you'll love the results.
