Anyone buy one of these?
Review: http://www.envynews.com/index.php?ID=410&page=
It is an HDTV compatible TV tuner box that you can hook to your monitor to allow you to watch TV, DVDs, Console games etc on your computer. I told my wife I wanted one for Xmas.
I have a 13" TV placed above my desk and I get a crick in my neck if I am working on the computer (working lol) and watching TV at the same time. Since I have a spare 19" LCD hanging around (Samsung 192N), I figured this would be a nice addition and I can slap it on the desk next to my regular LCD (Samsung 213T) for more viewing goodness. (I already cleaned the desk and hooked the monitor up as a second screen for now... ready to go!)
Pardon the shitty pic, I have a shitty camera.

The reviews I have read all seem pretty good and it does what I want it to, but I figured I would ask some fellow geeks and see what they thought.
