TV tuner

[davidandersson]

Hi guys,
Because of the Soccer World Cup coming up I wanted to get myself a TV card. I have always wanted one, so its not just for the this particular event but in general, the soccer world cup just gave me an excuse to buy one

I was wondering what some good HD cards are? Also will they be compatible with my motherboard and the other parts of my rig?
cheers,
David.

Try the AVerMedia AVerTV Hybrid Volar Max. I have been using this for over a year now. What I like about it the most is that you can record a tv show into a format that is compatible with an iPod.

Perfectly compatible with Windows 7.

Im not sure what the new Avermedia TV tuners are like,But i had the USB version and it was okay-ish....when it worked.

Their drivers are not so good,it would would either crash or just not detect my USB Tuner at all....same problems on Xp,Vista 64 and 7 x64,I ended up just shoving it in the draw and never using it again,I now have a proper TV.

Id recommend looking into getting one made by Hauppauge instead.

I have bought an ASUS My Cinema-PE6300Hybrid and I have installed the thing on the motherboard and connected the supplied antenna to the digital lug and when I use windows media center it doesn't pick up any channels. Anyone know what the problems might be?
I have installed the drivers...

I can receive radio though...

The supplied aerial is no good at all unless you have a home sited on top of the transmitter. You need to have a multi element aerial in the loft/attic or external.
