I am not looking forward to record TV shows, so that should be fine for me.

i dont see any model number on iy.it just says tech com.where r u from?
I am from Trivandrum. Had enquired about the TV tuner card which u had mentioned. Its not available in here. Instead they showed me some Mercury and some high end Pinnacle devices.
Avermedia TV tuner cards are now available on techshop.in . They are good quality(frm customer reviews on newegg). Bit pricey though.
here is the Link:
TV Tuner Cards - TechShop.in - Buy Tech Online Now!!!
if u really really want it, i could get it and send it to you.just see that your total expense that way doesnt exceed waht you would pay for another one.
i also checked out zebronics.com as suggested.it also has a tv tuner with very fancy remote et al..
contact them about the price and se if it fits the bill..
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...

DON'T beam me up, Scotty!
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.
thanks for the info m8,... ermmm.. about starting the pc, its on already about 18x7... and i dnt want more mess on the table, already its a mess, then more cables more crap, hope u understand
...
tell me can u pause and record with ur techcom if u use it from within the pc?? or do u know about intex?
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.
mercury lists it (timeshifting) to be available with their card... any idea on its availability?? i can't see any on ebay right now, tho i saw some a few days back.
man that is new to me!!
never heard of a tv-tuner with that.. something that tata sky offers for over 2k per month,they are givin for so less!! if true then its amazing..
yes its true mate... many cards support this, maybe even urs with the right drivers...
i will definitely search every possible site to get the drivers!
thanks..
i have bought the pixelview pro3 card..!! 1200bucks/-! possibly a philips chipset. supports stereo audio!!

timeshifting is like pausing live tv??
i mean, when you pause a channel,does it resume from where it was paused??
yup... u can specify how much it will buffer on ur hdd, if the buffer doesnt run out, then it'll resume from wher u paused it;
like tata sky+, only in this case u can also save the videos unlike sky, and also it doesnt cost u a load of money upfront
true.
and how does the actual timing of thev resume?
the tym for which you paused,how is it recovere to actual tym?
well it doesn't
i see u r my age prasun, any chance u know lucknow??

OMG!!!
so if i pause a live match for,say, 2hours,then i will never again be able to see a live match again???
[OT : m frm delhi.i have a frnd in lucknow studyin in amity there]
yup... the point is that u shud not pause it for 2 hours (record it instead) :lol:!... its for taking short breaks n all... yes if u did pause for 2 hrs then u wnt get the live feed till i guess forwarding?... i havent used it yet so cant comment for sure
ok...
lots of queries were cleared.i think i will keep it in mind while buying a timeshift tv card..
thanks!
no problems m8, n yes got the card with the normal 1 yr manufacturer warranty.... cya
:clap: :thumbup:
hey buddy, can u plz post the screenshot of the captured video, if it's good enough, I will also buy the same, Pinnacle one is around Rs 2300...
and one question, wat does this mean
"* Captures video from S-Video or Composite input"
I mean will it work for both DTH and normal cable TV ??
