Default TV tuners - which is best?

I'm building a PC (Win7) & trying to decide on a TV tuner - unfortunately, having never used one, I don't know what to look for. I'm trying to decide between these two:

Newegg.com - Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1850 MC Board Only - White Box (Updated version of 1800 WB) 1129 PCI-Express x1 Interface - TV Tuners & Video Devices

Newegg.com - Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 Dual TV Tuner / Encoder 1229 PCI-Express x1 Interface - TV Tuners & Video Devices

Which is better? I mainly want to access cable tv on my PC - my provider is Time Warner & AFAIK they have only a very limited range of clear QAM channels so I guess I am compelled to connect to my set-top box(?).

Advice appreciated!
