| 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. | The combination of built-in wireless and limited Windows Media Center integration makes the Pinnacle PCTV To Go HD Wireless one of the more promising Slingbox competitors for advanced users. | Aptly named, the ATI TV Wonder Elite is easily the best PC TV tuner card we've seen. |
