hello,
i want to buy a decent TV Tuner for PC and i know nothing about this thing.. What are some good brands and requirements for installing a TV Tuner ?
 
That's going to depend on your TV source. If all you're looking to do it receive free Over-The-Air (OTA) broadcasts, then you won't need a cablecard device. If you're looking to share a cable source, then you'll need to verify that your cable company offers cablecard solutions and if so, then you'll need to provide us with more details as to what you are attempting to do.

As for companies, you'll probably want to look at Hauppauge and SiliconDust. With Windows Media Center being phased out, I don't think Ceton is a good choice any longer (though I still love mine).
