I'm using an ATI TV Wonder 650 with Vista Ultimate. Works great and
integrates with Media Center as well (MC depends on your Vista version of
course) - ATI have their own Vista drivers and Catalyst media Center
software. The only thing that doesn't work without a lot of fiddling
around is the remote control.
 
It is hard to make any specific recommendations unless we know what TV
signals you want to process such as:

1. SD Analog from an antenna or a cable connection
2. OTA digital SD analog and OTA SD digital and OTA HD digital.
3. Do you want to process 2 programs at once watching one and recording
another.
4. Programs received through separate analog or digital cable or satellite
Set Top Box (STB)
 
Then I would suggest a Hauppauge 1600 tuner it has one Antenna/cable
connection for SD TV and one digital antenna connection for local HD OTA
digital broadcasts. You can watch an SD channel and concurrently record an
HD channel or vice versa. Or you can record one of each and watch a 3rd
previously recorded channel.
