stumped

I'm having a hard time finding a dual PCI-e ATSC tuner card (a tuner card that has 2 digital OTA tuners) that isn't crazy expensive. I'm looking to upgrade from my PCI tuner card but i don't want to get one that has 1 ATSC and 1 NTCS (as the analog OTA is going off soon and i dont use analog anyway)

Can someone please link me to some that are usable in vista media center?

thanks!

Ok, i've changed my mind, I'm looking for a PCI-E ATSC tuner card. I'v been looking at the reviews on newegg (i know, gasp,) but some of them seem relevant. There have been problems with driver stability, picture quality, etc. So i'm looking to get a good PCI-E ATSC tuner card, are there any recommendations?

Ignore posts #'s 2-4 please.

I think the HVR-2250 is the only one that is dual ATSC at the moment.

EDIT: I forgot about the HDhomerun

the HDHomerun i out of the question, it's $160. and the HVR-2250 is a tad bit expensive. I'm looking for one around $50-$80.

Maybe you could try 2 of something like this. They're USB though.

Do you want to stay in the $50-$80 range for a single tuner now instead of the Dual?
(I only mentioned the USB type ones incase you hadn't thought of it)

I've used the AverTV PCIe Combo (m780), HVR-2250, HVR-1600, and HVR-1800 all with ATSC OTA and every one of them worked great. Picture quality with ATSC is really not going to change from card to card. It's a digital picture and depending on the signal strength you're pulling in then you either get the picture or you don't. Some tuners may be more sensitive to the incoming signal and work better in that regard though. I've used all of mine with rooftop antenna and never had a problem scanning channels in. I did try them with an indoor antenna and non of them would pull in any channels. It was almost certainly due to the antenna quality though. You could probably find all, except the 2250, on ebay in your price range or even less. I've also heard good things about the ATI Theater 650 Pro.

EDIT: Sorry the HVR-1600 is PCI not PCIe
