| I WAS using a typhoon external TV tuner. Its very bad. I get horizontal lines(waves) .But otherwise the Quality was good. May be the waves were bcos of a bad chord. came with a remote. Its got 5 games in it. Supports multiple formats. Got if for Rs1000 frm a local store. |

Rep Power: 2 | my tv-tuner is tech-com.the picture quality is dependant on the provider.earlier with analog transmission the quality was 8/10.but now with the set top box,the picture is 10/10.. it is completely external.it came with a usb connector as well as a connector to connect to the desktop monitor. |

| Platinum Member | i was searching thru the net for info on low priced tuners, pleasantly surprised!! look here vinuthomas.com >> Discussion Forum >> The Lounge >> The Lounge >> Capture Cards/TV Tuner Cards look at this shot from an intex (!) tuner ! ![]() now i'm considering saving the buck and goin for it... i think its quite a lot respectable for a card at the price... i can live with it... have u got any experience with this card... what about the drivers and all for these low priced cards, do they provide sw with the card? can they be used with other media centres? my main purpose is to watch tv inside the os and do some minor recording too... what do u all think? and what about mercury tuners, are they dependable? i've seen quite a few posts about them giving errors and refusing to play, so having second thouhts...

Rep Power: 2 | with an external tv tuner, you can watch tv within the os too..they provide the sw cd as well as the usb for connection. u can do recording and all sorts of stuff.. if u use a desktop,i thnk external will be better as you will not always have to start your pc. |

Rep Power: 2 | no you cannot pause or reccord tv.you can pause,but then when you resume it will not star form where yo paused,butacc to tvs schedule. this feature is very costly and is not managed by a tv tuner.i think only dth service providers can provide that as you need memeory in the hardware u use. can the pc be used for it? i dont know.. and yes you can record normal tv shows. |
