Thread: Solid, cheap PCI TV Tuner.


im interested in setting computer watch tv, not record it. main reason tv in living room of apartment , tv watch in room , <$50(preferably $20lol) tv tuner card consolidate space opposed bringing tv , cheaper buying new tv. im running ubuntu studio 9.10 on dell dimension 4600 pentium 4 2.8 ghz processor, 1 gb ram, , nvidia geforce 7600gs 512mb vram. college budget, main concern cheap, not entirely necessary , ive managed fine without tv far, it, since lost starting , roommates hate , might not want deal them while watching it. tuner needs pci, guess usb work i've seen pci cheaper , prefer internal. ntsc must because basic cable, atsc because there few digital channels get. composite or s-video input maybe connect ps2 or snes, thats not must. i've found far researching, hauppauge seem work linux, dv848 or dv878 chipset. ive found mentions of people getting them less $20 cant find less $50 @ newegg or micro center.

bottom line
cheap less $50, preferably less $20.
