help me to buy tv tuner card.
my system configuration
intel 810e m. board
128 mb ram.
and also tell
internal or external
which one good for me.
Get compro tv tuner cards , they r best , get internal one since u don't have USB 2.0 to utilize the potential of external tv tuner
If buying internal card, then Pinnacle is the best they offer you with superb bundled software which allows you to recieve more channels which is problem with some other cards....
They don't tune to all available channels...
^^ pinnacle cards r pieces of craps-****.Never Buy them.If u want really good card,go for compro or hauppage cards.U will never regret!!!
Pinnacle are the leading tv tuner manufacturers in the world. The issues you face are possible on any tv tuner purely because of their not so easy configuration. A lot of things have to go right to get the right TV experience. From the cable signal to drivers, and the PVR software to system configuration.
Pinnacle cards are in the same league as Compro and Hauppauge and have better availability and support in India.
I am using Pinacle PC TV 50i inter TV tuner card since last one year without any problem.
I don't like the software procided by pinnacle it's too much resource hungry & also not user friendly. I am using Kastor TV a free software to watch TV wit my card. You can get the software at *www.kastortv.org/
Pixelview or Compro with auto time scheduled recording facility.
The Pinnacle price shd me be somewhere 2k and it also has scheduler which allows timed recordings....

Hi All,
In India, When one would think of getting a TV Tuner Card, the name that would come to ones mind is Pinnacle. Thats a long time back. Things are changing. Now the latest market grabber is Compro. It has a wide variety of products and its unique feature is its 'Power Up' function.
With this feature, once you make a schedule to record a program, it can bring up even a shutdown PC and once recording is completed, it can shutdown the PC again. This feature comes in handy at many times.
I would recomend the models 'Videomate TV Gold Plus' and Videomate Gold Plus 2' from Compro...

I would recomend the models 'Videomate TV Gold Plus' and Videomate Gold Plus 2' from Compro but i dunno abt their customer service. i personally use a pinnacle 50i, its just an avg card.

Remember de most imp thing is ur cable signal..even de best card wont give u quality if ur signal is weak.
