TV Tuner + software question

[Weenis]

Hey all, I'm about to join the Westinghouse LVM37W3 club and I'm unfortunate in that I don't have a cable box for my tv being that I'm at a University for the next year, so I was wondering what are some good suggestions for a TV tuner to go with the westy and the rig I am running in my signature..

Also was wondering what was some good PVR software for windows XP 32bit to go along with it.. I've heard mythtv is hot for linux but.. I've never used linux before and was wondering if there is something similar for windows, and if not, what is some good stuff out there..

Thanks in advance!

I kinda liked the Hauppauge series of encoder cards + BeyondTV from Snapstream for a PVR.

They sell different bundles in their store.

The PVR 150 card comes with some basic software, the BeyondTV was better.
