Can someone recommend me a good tv tuner card for my PC so that I can use it in Windows media center? I don't know that much about these things so I need help finding one...thanks!

BTW, I want to keep my budget under $90 and I need it to be Vista compatible.

EDIT: just found this..what do you think?

Hauppauge has some good ones. I think they have at least one card around your price range.

thanks, i was looking at some Hauppauge products, but decided to buy the one in my first post because it has a HDTV tuner included, so that I can record HDTV shows as well. I think it was a good deal. I used Google checkout and got an additional $10 off.

Only downside is that it doesnt come with a remote, but there's supposed to be a "free remote offer" included in the box which I have to pay shipping for, i think.
