I have a ATI TV Wonder Pro... and i connect the RCA cables to the input of the capture card and use the software they give me and I tell it to pick the signal from the RCA(input) cables....

there is an x600pro all-in-wonder, the cheapest video card with a tv tuner i found on newegg, it cost around $150. but the thing i didnt like about it is there were alot of bad reviews and it didnt come with a remote =O.

get hauppauge! the mce 500 is the best tv tuner you can get. you just need to get a program for it.

it has an onboard encoder which doesnt take away from the cpu and produces vry good video. it also has dual inputs, meaning u can watch/record 2 shows at once.

it doesnt come with a remoter but you could always just buy one.

Ripken: is their a card out their that is a PCI-e and is a TV Tuner? or has the computer industry haven't made the nerve to make on yet?

[ssmokee]

TV tuners dont need much bandwidth, so there is no immediate need to move to PCIe.

[KamiQuazi]

What I was wondering, u know how the ATI All-in-Wonders are AGP and they are Graphic/TV Tuners... will they move that line to a PCI-e or keep it on a AGP for now?

[ripken204]

like said above there are no pci-e tv tuners. i woukd imagin that ati would have a pci-e aiw

and get the hauppauge

I was just tryin' to get another video card since im still in the age of the PCI cards...lol

[jeeva]

I have seen a PCI-e TV Card, but it's DVB-T I don't know if it's available in the U.S. markets and/or workable there, just seek for Terratec Cinergy 2400i DT it has Dual Tuners, so you can record one channel while watching another, in Switzerland it's available for just 137 CHF, that means it should be around 100$.

Yep, ATi has two All-In-Wonder video cards for the PCi-express. That would be the AIW X600Pro, which can be found for about $150-$180 and the AIW X800XL, which is about $330-$350.
