Different types of the TV Tuner cards available in the market.

1-Analog TV tuners
-Analog television cards output a raw video stream, suitable for real-time viewing but ideally requiring some sort of compression if it is to be recorded.
-More advanced TV tuners encode the signal to Motion JPEG or MPEG, relieving the main CPU of this load. Some cards also have analog input and many also provide FM radio.

2-Digital TV tuners
-Digital TV is broadcast as an MPEG-2 stream, so no encoder is necessary; instead, the digital cards either provide the whole MPEG transport stream or extract the individual elementary streams.

3-Hybrid tuners
-A hybrid tuner has one tuner that can be configured to act as an analog tuner or a digital tuner. Switching in between the systems is fairly easy, but cannot be done immediately.
-The card operates as a digital tuner or an analog tuner until reconfigured.
