My question is I want the computer to record HD channels, however I

I would prefer to get the cheapest priced card that will do what I
need it to do. I don't even know if any of these cards will do what I

that are less then $40.00.

Any recommendations? If none of these cards will do what I need it to
do, can anybody recommended a budget card?
