I'm looking to get a Tv Tuner card for my system and was wondering if anyone could give suggestions as to which is a good choice... ati? hauppauge? some other brand? Let me know if you have a tuner card and how it's working.

People are going to disagree with me, but I'm putting an ATi TV Wonder in my new system. I did a lot of research on this card, and people's main complaints were driver stability issues and the inability to download new drivers from the web. HOWEVER, ATi just released a whole new multimedia center software/driver set and you can download it, and I hear it's much more stable and works beautifully. My one complaint about the card is that it doesn't have a whole lot of video capturing options which would've been nice, but all in all it's a great card. Stay away from the USB and VE editions though.
