VIVO - TV Tuner?

Hi,
I've just ordered an Alienware Area-51® 5300 System (built on Shuttle SB81P case). I would use this as a Media Center PC - which graphics card that includes a TV tuner adn VIVO would you recommend?

thanks & Happy New Year in 2005.

And the reason you're looking for a video card with the tuner built in is because you made the bad decision to go with an SFF form factor box in the first place.

I would have suggested a Micro ATX desktop for a home theater, or a Micro ATX thin tower for a desk, either would have used up less usable space while providing more room for upgrades. Then you'd have enough space for a double-width video card, a hardware-compression TV card, and a top quality sound card, while SAVING space. But you didn't ask, you just bought, and made yourself an enemy of the hardware community in the process.

The All-In-Wonder cards have a good tuner, but it's not as good as a hardware-compression tuner card like the Hauppauge Win PVR 250.
