TV Tuner for X64 Vista HP

Looking for some suggestion on a TV card that works with Vista X64 HP, and will work in Media Center.

I have a Vista View in one of my systems and it works great, but they are about $100, looking for something a little less expensive.

Thanks for any recommendations.

Nevermind I found it. That card is a Hauppauge Card. Hauppauge TV Cards have problems using more than 3gb of memory. I use a set of 2X2gb G.Skills in my rig so anything Hauppauge will be hit and miss.

Thats good to know, I visited the Hauppauge forums and many people are complaining about it. Could be a later card where the issue has been fixed. What did you use for drivers???

You could look at the ATI cards. I have an ATI TV Wonder Pro 650 HD. Works with Vista Media Center very well and picks up HD channels too. I'm running Vista Ultimate x64 with 4gig of RAM.
