Default Computer tv tuner recomendations

Hey all,

I'm looking for a tv tuner for my computer so I can watch tv on my computer. I don't have the space in my room for a computer and a tv, and I'm not about to give up my computer. It doesn't need to do anything fancy. I don't want to spend over $75 either. Newegg.com has some for around $45, but I don't know what to look for. I have 36mb of video already. I've looked at the All in wonder cards, but I don't want to spend $150-$200. I only need it for three months and I'm moving out of this place.

Does anyone have any recomendations? Thanks!!

Tom

Doesn't look like such a bad deal. Thanks!! What OS are you running and what other options do you have on your computer?(RAM, sound card, processor?) Does the tuner come with it's own built in video card? How do you like it overall?

Thanks again!!
