Infrared remote control,
TitanTV electronic program guide,
MPEG-1, MPEG-2,
Hardware-based encoding,
Ulead DVD MovieFactory 3 SE, Nanocosmos NanoPEG Editor 2.3,
Price when ranked: $99
Bottom Line: You can manually fine-tune channel reception, and it's easy to capture and manage stills, though some buttons on the external remote control aren't intuitive. Time-shifted video looked smooth while the device recorded at high quality settings. Includes an IR blaster for sending commands to a set-top box.

Radio-frequency remote control (optional),
GuidePlus+ electronic program guide,
AVI, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, WMA,
Software-based encoding,
N/A,
Price when ranked: $124 (includes optional remote control)
Bottom Line: Best external remote control, which uses radio frequency to achieve a wider range than IR remotes can manage. Recording at high quality settings didn't degrade picture quality of time-shifted video. Recording with the GuidePlus+ EPG is well integrated. On-screen control panel makes capturing stills easy, and a toolbar offers quick access to other features.

Hardware-based encoding,
Ulead DVD MovieFactory 2 SE,
Price when ranked: $140
Bottom Line: Recording at high quality settings didn't affect picture quality of live TV. Software allows you to fine-tune channel reception manually, and simplifies capturing and managing stills. External remote can be confusing, however.

Software-based encoding,
Ulead DVD MovieFactory 2 SE, VideoStudio 7 SE,
Price when ranked: $99
Bottom Line: Small size, light weight, and no need for an AC adapter suit this tuner for toting with a notebook. When the device recorded at high quality settings, time-shifted video appeared choppy. No remote available.
