right now I have a geforce 2 gts 32 mb version and I am adding a dvd drive to it soon , the creative 12X one that includes the dvd decoder card with it, I also want to add a tv tuner card to my computer.
Will it be possible to have the video card I have right now, the dvd decoder and the tv tuner all in at the same time, reason I ask is that a lot of tv tuner cards are also video acrds. also can anyone recommend a tv tuner card???
thanks

Well, my record for video devices:

Voodoo3 2000 PCI
Matrox Millenium 2MB PCI
Hauppauge WinTV TV Tuner
Creative Labs Dxr3 DVD Decoder Card

So, I don't see why not. But if your system is powerful enough (P3 500+ I'd say, Athlon of same vintage, K6 should do it too), I wouldn't personally bother with the DVD decoder except for the TV out maybe.

There are plenty of TV Tuner cards out there that are just tuner cards. I can't help with a recommendation, but I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to have all that stuff in your system, provided you have enough PCI slots.
