While we're on the subject of putting together a cheap home theater PC, how would you like a cheap TV Tuner/video capture card/FM tuner with a remote control?
Shop4Tech's got a Sabrent card that does all of those things, for just $28.88, with free shipping. There's no way to link directly to the product page, but if you go to Shop4Tech's web site and search for "SBT-VC-TVFM," it should pop up.
It's not surprising that we're seeing prices drop on these older TV tuners, with a new crop of HD tuners hitting the shelves, and CableCard tuners on the way. But if you don't need hi-def yet, I say snap em up while you can. I mean, this isn't as good as a deal for a free TV tuner, but under $30 is still a good price.

1. Will this capture in AVI? I really don't want to compress the signal from the get go. I have a fast CPU and plenty of disk space. I'd like the quality of AVI over MPEG.
