anyone have any suggestions on tv tuners? i know of several usb ones, (eskape, ati), but usb tuners don't have the bandwidth capacity to have res higher than 320 x blah. other solutions are formac pci tuner (called protv), but it takes up a pci slot (which could be used for other things) and it uses the cpu to decode. finally there's formacs studio, (external, firewire, hardware decoding) but it costs $400!!! are there any other solutions? does anyoen know if the formac pci protv is anygood?

I can see you having 3 PCI slots left when you finally get a new computer because you said that each time... thats what they're there for man! Use it!
