TV Tuners

Hi all,
As you know they plan to convert TV to digital at the end of the year. I was wondering instead of buying a converter box, could I buy a PCI X or PCI X16 tv tuner card to put in my PC and it would work?

Re: TV Tuners

Hey Rajinisback,

Yes you can buy PCI Digital TV cards, Down here in Australia we are also switching to Digital TV...Here is a screenshot of my Compro T100 PCI digital tv card...

You also get way more channels using digital...

Digital TV cards are really cheap (about $40 down here fot the compro t100 like mine) compared to every other Digital TV Device..
