Hey, guys - so I have an old Hauppauge WinTV PCI TV tuner card and here in about 2 weeks it's gonna be useless unless I buy a digital converter box or a new digital TV tuner card so what TV cards are out there now? What do you recommend? Do they even make anything for PCI slots now or is it all PCI-Express?

A lot of the cards are moving to PCI express, however there are still some models that support PCI. What is your price range and what do you want to view? HD content or just digital content?

Hey! Well, I think I paid about $40 for my old tuner card. I don't want anything fancy-schmancy. Definitely under $100. Preferably closer to $50 I guess. And I don't need a high def picture or anything like that. Just plain old digital local stations through the rabbit ears is all I need.

Thanks!
