    Advice for purchasing new TV tuner

    Please kindly suggest me which good quality TV tuner I should buy for me. Since I purchased my computer at about 2 years ago and hence I want to have a television running on computer as well. So can anyone suggest me that which one I should get for me. I have my pc configuration of the Intel core 2 duo processor, with hard disk of about 320 GB Sata hard disk, I have 1 GB of Ram of Transcend, and my operating system is windows xp service pack 2 pro. I want to purchase this at a reasonable range of about Rs 1000-2000. So can anyone suggest me what should I buy to get the best view of television on my computer. Help will greatly appreciate.

    I suggest you that you can buy any tv tuner which is used for watching the television from the computer. Since it is very nice that you want to buy the new tv tuner for your computer. I suggest you to the buy the Adaptec tuner because it has a nice frequency range. It has a very good picture quality since I also utilize this for last 2 years and even now it has working well for me. Currently the price range of about Rs 2000. The higher frequency of this tv tuner adaptec is about range of Rs 2500. So I suggest you to increase your budget a bit Rs 2500 to buy a good tv tuner.

    Since you have bought your computer 2 yrs ago, with good processor of intel core 2 duo. I think tv tuner will work it well on your computer. I suggest you to buy the D link TV tuner card. This TV tuner is one of the best TV tuners in the market so I suggest you to buy this one. The feature of this TV tuner is fairly good because it independent of the pc configuration you have. It is also reasonable to buy this one. It has a finance range of less than Rs 2000. So buy this one because it gives a nice picture quality on the computer as well. At the end it is your choice which one you buy the best for your computer.

    I think that buying tv tuner for watching television on your pc is good experience. One of my friends purchased an external Umax TV tuner for Rs 1550 from Andheri, Mumbai. It claimed to compatible with full HD monitors or the LCD monitor. The picture quality was extraordinarily first-class, but within 20 days, its adapter halted to work. Luckily, he was able to get a substitute within five days. Make your own conclusions about the feature of the product, So is suggest don’t buy this one check for the Dell TV tuner it is also cost around Rs 2000.It picture quality is also first- class with good frequency bandwidth. So its your choice which one you will but for your computer.

    There is an s-video input, but besides there are two coaxing inputs for cable. There is an input for every tuner on the card. One is for cable, and the extra is for a digital antenna (the one is for HD). It technique to exercise is that it works with the beta software is that you plug your usual wire into the antenna and it choose up whichever unencrypted channels (hd or non hd). It is the best tricks vista media center into thoughts that these unencrypted obvious qam channels are ATSC. If your objective is to be able to look for ENCRYPTED HD channels on your computer, then that is not promising with one of these tv tuners. you require a special cable card for that. i have time warner digital wire and the merely hd channels i can look on my computer are times now,BBC channel 2 other local ones. There is no way to see the additional ones like nat geo, discovery, etc apart from maybe with that cable card i talk about.
