Recommend a USB TUNER
I need to buy 2 USB tuners. I need a cheap one. I won't be using it for digital or QAM. Just to input Analog cable and possibly input from a cable box. What do you reccomend?

For Analog Cable I think the problem with the HVR-950Q USB Tuner is that it uses software MPEG-2 encoding. I always took that to mean your CPU is going to work hard when recording. As opposed to internal cards that have built in hardware encoders where CPU usage is next to nothing.

Problem is I am out of internal card spaces. However, I am running a Q6600 Quad core CPU w/ gb of ram. So I am not to concerned about cpu power being used. One of my concerns is I need to find usb tuner that will work with win7 64bit.
