I've got the ATI TV Wonder Pro, and it worked pretty good this past season. As long as you have a matching ATI graphics card, you won't have any problems. I've run into a few minor glitches here and there, since I have an NVIDIA graphics card. But for the most part, I've really enjoyed the ATI TV card. I think it was about $70 at Best Buy, with a $20 mail-in rebate.

You'll want to make sure your sound card has good clock stability, otherwise you'll have some synch problems. I've had some problems with using the composite input on my card; it doesn't always work, with the video dropping out. I don't know much about the other cards. If I'd been motivated enough, I probably would have taken the ATI card back and traded it in for an NVIDIA card, so I could eliminate the glitches altogether. But I don't know if the NVIDIA card has all the features that the ATI one does.
