TV tuner is pretty lame (esp. when it comes to video capture/record)... you get what you paid for...

I got the one w/o tuner just so I can play Gamecube on my computer...
When I get off my lazy butt I will do a review of sorts...

First, TV itself is ok to decent. However, if you read my post, I was focusing on the DVR functionality, which is the bad part. If you can live with that and don't need to record things, you are fine. Read the post next time.
