Watching TV In Computer

^^ Yup A better choice would be a PCI tuner card rather than usb. You will also obviously need a cable line! Dont skimp out and get a cheap one as you will most likely get what you pay for. In order to get a decent one you will prob have to fork out $100 or so
 
Some Tivo's can be hooked up to the network and you can use their software to transfer the videos to your pc
 
in the UK, companies like Channel 4 and BBC etc... allow for programs to be streamed off their sites... though its not like watching real tv, its certainly a cheaper and easier option than buying a tv tuner... lol... unless ofc you want to watch loads of channels.... lol
 
tv tuner card.. PCI card.... one maybe with remote and software.... and the specs need to be right!
 
I have a freeview usb digital tv card.

Its great i get over 30+ channels to my pc for free..

you will have to get a fixed ariel though as the ones they give you are no good.

my dad has a card and it has the software on Winfast.. not sure of the card... but i can find it out for you ramodkk....

My dad has a TV antenna port in the study / radio room to the main antenna above my room :P. Works fine but it has to have nothing else running in the backround... you can have "some" things but not a lot of things going.
 
Oh, I forgot to give some real input.. hehe... My advice is be sure that it has a QAM receiver to actually get the HD channels. I have an HDTV (Samsung LN-R268W) that is around two years old, and my Mom just got a new one for the living room (an LG). Hers can receive the digital channels -- mine can't! Why NOT?! I paid $1100 at the time and that was the last display model, when she got hers for only $800. The difference: a QAM receiver. Her's has it, mine does not! So now I'm kinda pissed.

In fact, I myself am thinking about buying the ATI Radeon HD 800 card (something like that), just so that I could get the digital channels. If I do buy the card, I'll hook it up through the VGA port.

Don't let yourself get screwed over a minute detail. :D
