A year ago the Kworld 115 was $35 at Newegg.  That lasted until around
August or September when they ran out of stock.  At the time it was in the
running for the most affordable tuner available.

I picked a four-PCI-slot motherboard just so I could use four of those
cards.   Now if I could just make the time to trouble-shoot the machine to
power on.  Put it all together in a beautiful Antec P180 case and it
didn't power up.  :-)
