691628 2008-07-24 06:30:00 It depends on what channels you want to be able to receive. CYaBro (73)
691629 2008-07-24 07:15:00 TV1, TV2 and TV3 at least, it just has to be under $100 Blam (54)
691630 2008-07-24 12:29:00 1. Do you want digital, analog or both?
2. if you want HD, how fast is your computer?

I'm planning on getting the hauppauge nova-td stick, which is exactly like the third one in your link, but it has 2 digital tuners instead of 1. Unfortunately it is not available in NZ yet. Note that the nova cannot tune into analog signals.

2. I don't want HD, my computer isn't fast enought anyway: Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 2. 0ghz 3gb ram
