Hello,
Basically what I can see from what I have read one had dual tuner capability and one is set up for PCI Express. Both look like great cards.

Yes USB is a great idea, I personally use a PCMCIA card for my laptop and I love it. I think the USB offer some great advantages over internal cards like, you can take it with you, work or on the road. Only thing I dislike about mine is that its Analog only I use a converter box to get Digital because I was too cheap to buy the expensive one. I think you will enjoy the USB TV Tuner. Let me know how the quality is and how many stations you can pick up. Hey did that come with an antenna too?

Yes. I kept looking on other sites, and saw a HP USB tv tuner. the computer has to have mediacenter, and mine does. I do not have to put in inside my computer, but only in the USB port. I talked with the salesman at HP, and I did order it. I think I will like it better. Thanks for your answer.

I received the TV tuner, but had to wait for the cable man to come and program it in. It does work fine, but to change channels I have to use the remote, not the one on the screen. The channel on the screen has to be onchannel 3. I do like it goine into the usb port; easy to use. Thanks for your help.

I did recieve an antenna, but it is a small one. I receive HD on my computer, and I really like it. I think the $100.00 was money well spent. I guess even if I left the cable company for a satalite system, that It would work the same way. I am thinking about changing my cable (with satalite) and phone (phone to magicjack), and keeping my internet with the cable company. The reason is the cost is better for cable with the cable company. This will save me about $45.00 a month for the first few months, then about $25.00 a month. I have not decided for sure, but am checking into it.
