The Tech Report recently ran a comparison of current hardware MPEG2 TV tuner cards, and lo and behold, the EVGA NVTV Single Tuner grabbed the Editor's Choice Award! Here's a snippet:
"Surprisingly, the best image quality comes from the least expensive tuner, EVGAs $65 NVTV. The card's bundled NVDVD decoder also makes the card ready to run with Media Center out of the box, provided you have a DirectX 9 graphics card. That's something the other cards lack."
The comparison goes to summarize with:
"Overall, it's hard to come up with a verdict. The PVR-150MCE l.p. is easy to discount due to its comparatively poor image quality. Although the TV Wonder Elite has great image quality, works flawlessly, and comes with a swanky remote, it costs twice as much as the competition. The EVGA NVTV, which also has low CPU utilization and great image quality, runs only $62 online and comes bundled with the NVDVD decoder, making it perfect for Media Center Edition and thus our Editor's Choice."
