AverTV or HVR-1800?

[lt_wentoncha]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble picking a TV Tuner.

AverTV

or

HVR-1800

Which is the one that's going to allow me to watch HDTV over antenna or digital satellite and record them? Any owners have any recommendations?

Thanks.

I was debating between those 2 also. I went with the Hauppage unit. I have not recieved it yet. However from reading reviews on the AverTV and its excessive heat issues I decided on the Hauppauge unit.
