I'm in the market for a TV tuner for my PC. I'm kind of out of the loop when it come to new PC stuff. I've been looking at some that are built into a video card and some are one that just plug in t usb. What I want out of this is to watch TV and possible record too, though I'm not that picky. what are your options here guys? I'm looking to be in the 100 dollar range too.

His setup is definitely overkill, but if you're running a home theater PC then this is as good as it gets.


Hope this helps bromontana.

The Ceton is awesome -and its probably one of the only internal TV tuners that does CableCARD, which allows you to use your existing cable and use your PC as a cable box. Pretty sweet, but expensive.

Otherwise, you can really just pick any Hauppage or the like card for the $70 range with dual tuners, and get away with ATSC/NTSC/QAM tuning solutions.

I recommend the Hauppauge card for TV to PC
