HTPC tv tuner question

[MBony]

I don't have a LCD or Plasma, but rather a Sony Wega that has component out and S-Video. Is there a budget tuner card that gives component out instead of having S-Video?

tuner is input device (OTA, cable) for SD or / and HD it doesn't come with output
that's video card that is output device (DVI, S-video, etc)
you connect TV to video card, unless you buy integrated tuner with video capture card.

Then your next question would be - how to get audio? ;-)

Ok, so are there video cards with component out?

Yup. Pretty much every mainstream card out today does component. Just check the pictures at Newegg and make sure the one you're buying has the right dongle.
