Anyone have a tv tuner card? I want to watch tv and surf the forums at the same time. LOL.

I have dual monitor outputs and an extra 21" Sony monitor. :wink:

I suggest searching for "pinnacle tv" on ebay. You can get one for $30. I'm using one and it's good image-quality-wise. These come with either Phillips or Temic tv tuners. So you can use dscaler (better quality, higher cpu use, closed captions, deinterlace) to watch tv. Or you can use the app that comes with it (lower quality, low cpu use).

Never tried it. I find it much easier to turn my head 28 degrees and look at my TV.

Just don't buy an ATI Wonder VE card, they really suck.

Gold and I both have a Leadtek tv tuner card... we got it off of newegg... lemme try and find the link

found it http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?submit=manufactory&catalog=221&manufactory=1280&DEPA=1&sortby=14&order=1

this card is mad awesome... I really like it anyway.. comes with an fm tuner, tons of recording options, remote control with tons of functions... if you have anymore specific questions I can always look in the manual to see if I can answer them

btw, don't get anything USB. PCI is the only way to go.
