    Either the Hauppauge Colossus or the HD-PVR will work for all of your needs, with one caveat–they both require the usage and rental of your set top box. But even with the STB, it is the actual COMPUTER that is the DVR in this scenario, so the STB is just a dumb tuner (you use IR blasting to change channels).

    If you want to save the cost of the STB altogether then you can go the CETON route, but that would leave you 100% without options for importing your previously DVR’d content and VHS.

    So that’s the first thing you need to decide, then from there you can decide on which tuner.
