Ok, so I have a 7600gt and I just got my FW900 24" widescreen from ebay this week. Is there a way to recieve and watch hdtv shows on it? I know my fare share about video cards, but I know nothing about tv/hdtv tuners :eek: so any help would be appreciated. I also have a 7900gt (trying to sell) if that has any better features then the 7600gt.

Thanks for the help ;)

You need a card to play over-the-air HDTV, and you need a cablebox with a component, VGA, or DVI out in order to play coded content.

Not unless it have TV inputs, and even if it does it's unlikely to have *good* tv inputs.
