HDTV tuner w/ S-Video input recommendation
I am in the market for a second PCI tuner in my SageTV setup. I'd like a good ATSC tuner to pull in local HDTV broadcasts. It also needs to have a decent S-Video input so that I can add an external DTV tuner to the mix.
I currently have an AverMedia A180 card that works well, but I wonder if there is something better out there. I know there are a lot of people here who know more than I do and can recommend at good card. Or maybe you don't know any more than I do but still have strong opinions. ![]() Either way, what would you suggest? |

to be able to record both digital ATSC and analog S-video content, you are going to need combo ATSC/NTSC tuner. A good choice would be something like the Hauppauge HVR-1600.
There are other combo tuners out there, but I am not familier with them.
