I am looking for a good usb hdtv tuner, with remote possibly. can anyone point me in the direction of a good one, or some articles about them. Maybe both? I am planning on using Windows 7 media Center for TV and maybe recording...
 
KWORLD ATSC TV Stick UB435-Q

i posted about that one and nobody cares, but im telling you its a rock-solid good quality product. it works extremely well, for any price. it doesn't have rca-inputs like most pci tuners, its just an ota tuner... the price reflects that though. for $35 it puts OTA HDTV on your pc or laptop, and uses your video card for processing with dvxa... so it doesnt use your system resources. it is also listed to see QAM channels, i have not tried that but i would imagine those work fine too.

ive been using mine for weeks now, its been perfect. i normally dont ever suggest buying off brand produts, especially kworld... but this one is done right.

and for a remote, you pretty much need to get the official MS remote kit- http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Con...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1251930589&sr=8-1

you can use other brands, but you wont save that much money and with the MS one you get zero problems, ever.

ive heard the silicon dust hd homerun recommended several places. Its a dual tuner external box that connects via ethernet, that is it sits on your lan.

its more than $100 though

I dont know what the status is on it under win7.

if you are planning on win7 64bit, i would verify anything you buy has drivers for that.
