if your gunna plug in games (especially new gen consoles) then you'd want one with component cable inputs on it. which is most likely an HD card. i have a normal TV card, and while it is old, and im sure a standard tv card gets a lot better picture then this does. but still. your putting a normal tv resolution onto a pc resolution and it doesnt look quite right. but maybe newer cards fixed that.. still right now i wouldnt buy any card but an HD capable one.
also, i've never seen a tuner with pvr built in the pvr part of em is a program to run for the TV, and it records onto your Hard drive. this does NOT put a delay on any inputs like games. because you obviously wouldnt run the game through the pvr program.
(which actually you can get pvr programs for free, that support pretty much most any tv tuner, and work just like tivo. so i wouldnt have pvr as one of your worries.)

Okay..two things. About the audio component cables with the consoles. I have an adapter that puts the two audio component cables into the cable that plugs into the audio in on that particular tuner card, so I'm set with that.
Secondly, are there HD tuner cards that are PCI as well?
