Tv Tuner Card
Posted: Sun Jun 28, 2009 6:02 pm
I am thinking about buying a TV tuner card... I have a PVR upstairs, but I prefer to watch tv downstairs. I do have a digital cable box down there, and often watch TV on it. I would LOVE a PVR, but dont really want to spend 500+ for one... Then a friend of mine explained he had a tv tuner card in his pc, and watches and records TV on his xbox.
I will be upgrading to vista, so do you guys know if you can do this with vista + xbox, or does it only work with xbox + media centre?
Also, I am looking on ebay for the cards lots of them seem to have weird pin configurations... like this: http://i.ebayimg.com/01/!BVQzHRgCGk~$%2 ... Mw~~_1.JPG" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I dont have any ports on my Mobo that look like that... All the ports I have on my mobo are like 11 pin then a piece of plastic then 7 pin. Or the same pin config as a the via card. (I have no idea what the little 11 pin, then 7 pin ports are for)
