I am putting together a new shuttle SSF system and cannot decide between either the SN25P or the ST20G5.
Now I want to use a TV tuner (I've currently got a Winfast PCI card in my old system).
Now of the two shuttles the SN25P seems the slightly better model but if I get that then I would have to get a USB tuner (is it only supports PCIex16 and PCIex1). Or if I get the ST20G5 I can keep my current tuner (as this model supports PCIx16 and PCI 32-bit).
Now I have considered an ATI all in wonder graphics/tv card but would rather keep the cards seperate.
Are there any quality differences between a PCI tuner and a USB2.0 tuner?
