i just did a search and found hundres form $30-over $100
depends on o/s
pc/mac
desktop/laptop
a friend reccomends this one
AVerMedia AVerTV Combo PCI-E M780 - ATSC HDTV receiver / analog TV tuner / video input adapter - PCI Express x1 low
it retails between $80&$180 depending on the exact model chosen
it will accept standard coax connects as well as game machines and most any normal devices

All I can say is don't buy a tuner made by pinnacle. I bought one my freshman year when my roommate dropped out so I wouldn't have to bring a tv up and the software sucked and media center didn't recognize the tuner

thanks
should I install it myself or should I take it in?

Just do it yourself.

It's way to easy to pay for.

Get a MSI one m8, great one's MSI software sucks tho but you can use it in WMC

How long ago was that? I've got a pinnacle one hooked up to my iMac and have nothing but good experiences with it.
