| The Bottom Line | The Plextor PX-HDTV500U Mini Digital HDTV Receiver provides a cheap and easy way to watch and record HDTV on your PC. We recommend this compact tuner and antenna kit particularly for laptops that feature Microsoft's Media Center app. | Of the external TV tuners we've seen, we recommend the Diamond XtremeTV PVR600 above the others for its strong image quality and inclusion of A/V cables and a remote control. | The AVerMedia TVBox 9 is a simple device that allows you to turn any computer monitor into a television. | Aptly named, the ATI TV Wonder Elite is easily the best PC TV tuner card we've seen. | The Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB2 offers admirable image quality, but you'll need to bring your own A/V cables. |
