Re: Can you guys recommend me a TV Tuner card.
There are a lot of choices, so you'll want to do a bit of research and see what type suits yours needs. I recommend PCI versions since they tend to be better quality over the USB products as a rule. With regards to using one monitor for TV and the other for applications, just make sure that the device you get supports opening in a window and not a required full screen model. This will let you do whatever you want with your TV window, even using it to cover one of your monitors. Many also offer multiple windows, but most of these are more along the lines of a preview type thing where you can monitor several channels in small windows so you can select the one you want.
As far as brands go, I have had very good luck with CompPro and Prolink. Haupage (sp?) is also reputed as being toward the top of the food chain in this category.
