tv tuner recommendations?

[zev]

Just looking for a simple tv tuner to watch tv with on my computer, any suggestions? Doubt I'll ever need to record anything with it, but if the price isn't much more, why not.

Thanks

I put in the Hauppauge 1850 in my desktop a month ago. Works great. Use it with Media Center all the time to watch sports and to pvr shows. Tried the 950Q usb tuner and didn't like it at all so I returned it. The 1850 uses a hardware encoder which I think makes for a better picture--usb and some internal ones use software encoders. This is likely not an issue if you don't record, so the 1250 Hauppauge would work.
