Can someone recommend me a good TV tuner for a laptop? I am looking to ditch my ancient CRT TV and dual purpose my laptop, as I am stuck in a college dorm and space is at a premium. Output is going to a 24in Samsung LCD @ 1920x1200 with a HDMI -> DVI-D adapter. The laptop itself is a ASUS g50vt-A1 with vista home premium, so power is not an issue here(takes on GTA IV no problem) and I am willing to use either a ExpressCard/54(preferred) or USB. Must be able to do NTSC+ATSC+QAM, as well as composite as a minimum, Remote would be preferred, but not required. Svideo would be good, as well as any other inputs. Being a desktop replacement, the laptop itself does not move unless I go home.

Any Ideas?
 
ExpressCard tuners are a lot less common than USB (read: less competition = more expensive) I think most of the recent USB tuners are pretty competitive feature wise.
 
So no one can throw me a bone here? All of the USB and express card ones that I can find seem equally shitty.
