Tv tuner Question

[noki]

Hi all,
I need some help in buying tv tuner.
I've research the net about tv tuners, regarding their quality their use of processing power etc.
and I get very different opinion about the quality.
so I was wondering whether you guys/girls can give me your opinion about their picture quality.
oww, if you don't mind, also help me in choosing the best one ? just tv tuner tho not those all in one type.
thanx

I have a PhoebeMicro TV Master (http://www.phoebemicro.com/Products/Multimedia/Video_Multimedia/TV_Master___FM/tv_master___fm.html) tuner card. It has excellent picture quality. Computer monitors have better resolution than a TV picture tube, so the image is very sharp. The big problem I had was that the video would eventually freeze if I was trying to use other Windows applications at the same time. I finally installed it in a spare system.

The model in the link above appears to be a newer version than what I bought.

It is connected to a TV cable system, so all the channels are strong. I have not tried it on an antenna.
