Here is what the product info says!
Has anybody tried this product? I am kind of looking to buy this! But there are no customer reviews on the web world. Can somebody show some light?
Also, has anyone bought from mwave.com?

Or can anyone suggest a good TV tuner with FM for laptop?

Thanx

Is there any PCMCIA card for Windows XP Media Edition or any PCMCIA HDTV tunner.

I have ordered this from mwave.com, out of curiousity as the total cost for 3day shipping came around $55, so that i can play around during holidays.
Let me see how it goes!

Hi kamranziadar
I did some research on the Philips chipset, looks like it would support digital broadcasting too.. But that feature might have been disabled
(I m basically talking about Philips SAA713X). If u want to play with electronics, you could do some research with this

The KWorld NB-TV 100 card that buy.com had for about $25 AR a while ago uses probably the same/similar chipset, but has no FM or remote. Too bad the KWorld software sucks. Is this software any better? How about the remote - looks pretty thin - any comments?

MCE cardAVerMedia has it.


newegg has a better price on it.
