TV Tuner card comparision

[wanderer-z]

Can anyone who has tried either of these cards please give me some inputs on which is better?

The first one is from PC Chips: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=15-117-201&depa=0

The second one is from MSI: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-127-998&depa=0&section=2

I main functions that I want out of these cards are good quality full screen picture with watching cable and hooking my game consoles (PS2 and GC) to it.

If you can advice an alternative better card, I'm all ears as well. As long as the price is $100 or below. The main reason I picked the above card is because of their prices, and slightly because of the red board... to match the MB and video card. =)

Thanks a lot!

If I were you, I'd go with MSI. As a company, they have much better quality than PC-Chips. PC-Chips is very close to the bottom of the barrel, and their quality shows it.

P.S. - Good choice of vendor. ;)

MSI is an all-around good company from my experience. PC Chip...I don't think I can really add anymore to what's already been said.

I cannot add to what's been said but I can confirm. I've had the *pleasure* to own a PC-Chips motherboard and what I can tell you from it is that I'm happy not to own it anymore ;)
