Mixed reviews on USB TV Tuners

OK, here's the deal. I've searched the forum, but there is no distinct answer as to which is the best tv tuner for my Dell 9400. The Hauppauge one is probably the most compatable, as it's the one you get when you buy from Dell, right?

I have heard mixed reviews on it though. What about the Leadtek WinFast ones, or the AvertTV USB MCE?

Anyone have experience with other tuners? I have an old ATI USB TV Wonder, but needless to say, it's complete crap. I want something that works and works well, and that I will have few issues with in the future.

I should also mention that I already have the infrared module and remote for the computer, I just want a tuner.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is the Hauppauge the only solution?

Thanks

P.S. Yes, the slingbox looks cool, but is not a MCE supported tuner (I need the PVR functions of MCE, as well as the handy guide built-in (all controlled by the remote)
