hi all

i'm looking at getting a hauppauge tv tuner and one model says it has FM receiver but not FM tuner.

what's the difference between the two?

In the Hi-Fi world, tuner means it has no amplifier and receiver means the radio tuning is integrated with the amp and preamp. There is generally no amplification on FM or TV cards so technically they are all tuners...

hehe... my Christmas tree 😛 jk

thanks for the inputs - either way i'm getting me one of these nice cards.
do you think my original geforce card is good enough?
