Which TV tuner card?

[qW4]

I have a Dell Inspiron 580, Win7, with 4GB memory & 500GB hard drive. I need a TV tuner & FM tuner. My old pc (HP Media Center m7060n, XP) has a TV card, can I use it? It has a Blackbird NF TV & FM tuner. Or should I get a new one?

If you have an open slot and can find drivers for whatever OS you're using, then slap that darn thing in My old WinTV PVR-150 I've been using forever was from some old HP machine.

You should be able to use the card from your HP. Its an ASUS so it's a good brand. It might be hard to find drivers for it but once you do it should work with no problems.

If You've got a card - definitely use that - rather than buying a new one - unless you were unhappy with the picture quality.

Windows 7 Media center is quite user friendly. I'd use that as software once you get the latest driver update for your Tuner.

Thanks everyone.
OK now can someone tell me where do I find a diagram & directions? I've installed a hard drive & memory before with no problems. I've even rewired the electricity in a few rooms in my house, so I think I'm mechanically inclined, just need directions.
