Hello, I am looking for a good TV Tuner card. I am going off to college and instead of bringing a TV, I am going to get a tuner card for my PC. This will be cheaper and save space! It needs to:

1. Be Vista compatable
2. Be PCI
3. Have hardware encoding
4. Have good picture quality
5. good software to view and record (or a good free one)

And it would be nice to have:

1. Aux video inputs
2. FM tuner (not as much as AUX though)
3. remote

I have looked here and there and searched google and have no idea what I am looking at. I have never shopped for a tuner card before and have absolutely NO experience with them at all. What are some ups and down of certain cards VS. others? Suggestions and opinions would be excellent and greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Mitch
