Not a huge question, I just was wondering if there were any pointers on what to look for and where to get a TV Tuner and a Remote (not necessarily a combo) when building an RPi-based HTPC. Answers regarding good products in general for the making of an RPi-based HTPC are also great here.

It's a project I've looked into somewhat, but I have very little idea what I am looking for in terms of the equipment that makes it behave like a real Home Theater, complete with IR remote and TV Tuner.

I know of this IR remote/reciever from Adafruit: link, but it looks a little cheap, so I wasn't sure if that was something to go ahead with, or if I should look elsewhere.

I'd recommend a USB TV tuner like this. In combination with XBMC.

For the remote you can you the logitech harmony with an IR dongle, like this
