External TV Tuner

[jaydeee]

Hi!

I'm planning to get an external TV tuner for my extra monitor, I want to turn it into a TV. Any suggestion what is a good External TV Tuner brand.

Thanks a lot!

Are you looking for a standalone TV tuner or a USB one? Also what region do you live in? Do you need an ATSC tuner or NTSC/PAL?

for usb i did not have any luck with Hauppauge. could not even boot with it installed. Windows 7 pro detected it as a boot device for some reason. i lend up taking it back.

I bought AverMedia which i do like. A lot more channels and worked well with the Windows Media center.
