For TV Tuner, you gonna let us know the below things

its with HD or normal connection ???

Internal or External Card Preferred ???

tata sky hd dvr set top box to record from, internal since he wants to record.

Could only find that one single which has HDMI.

Actually i doubt, but let someone clears me out..

I think - " If the setup box is connected to Monitor using HDMI, then directly we can view the TV ?? "

HDMI is the input. Its an internal TV Tuner.

But he wants to record the TV?

Actually i was doubting whether can we watch the TV on HD monitor using HDMI input from Setup box. Now its clear.

Thanks Ishu.

watching is ok. but the dude wants to record.

I also started another thread on this subject in Graphics Card section whether we can record using GPU but thread goes unnoticed till now.
