Hi
I unfortunately bought a happaugge 500 dual tuner card. It was the B version which has the crappy chipset. I tried using a third party tool that supposedly helps, it made it viewable but had wavy lines that were just to noticeable on most channels. I am looking for a new Analog tuner, I prefer hardware than software but my box is powerful enough for software. I will probably keep my 500 in it and just use them for viewing TV. I would like a nice one for recording. Has anyone used anything from ATI 550 Theatre card, or Nvideo Dual tuner? What works well with Media Portal for recording quality and also has TV out. Im kinda afraid of Happaugge now, I want something that is not gonna be a hassle to get working, but also has enough quality
Thanks for all the advice

P.S. I just searched Ebay and they have plenty of cheap VGA to composite or svideo so that problem is solved.
