Since the avermedia one I wanted is gone from the newegg site, I have to rethink which tv tuner I want.

I want a tv tuner that will record shows on a schedule to my hdd.

These are the three that I am looking at(other reccommendations welcome)

Are these even good or compatable with the 9300?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815100114

BTW, I am recording from a cable box.

The thing that I really care about is the recording and quality.

Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB 2.0

I'm currently using the one above on my laptop and it's pretty good.

I gotta keep the price below $75 and I can only purchase off of the newegg or dell site.

Are either of the first or second fine for scheduled recording onto my hdd at high quality? Which one should I get?

Your cable box doesn't have a TV connector? (it looks like the cable hookup)

The third one is to turn a VGA monitor into a TV. The other two require a lot of resources to record. You might consider one that encodes the video externally.

Resources, as in processor power needed for encoding.

800 MHz CPU for TV viewing and VCD recording
2.4 GHz CPU for DVD-quality recording
Unless you have nothing else running when you record, you'll likely get dropped frames.
