I was looking through the tuners offered on Newegg and I'm a bit confused as to what they are are actually capable of doing.
I was looking for a device to connect to my HTPC that will tune a basic cable analog signal and also a digital over-the-air signal for local channels in HD.
The reason for this is that I'm using an old plasma monitor that doesn't have a built in tuner. So I want to be able to watch everything through the computer which is connected to the monitor through the vga port. I was using a vcr and a digital to analog converter box, but I would like to consolidate everything to the PC.
Is there a device that can handle both signals? Will I need separate devices? Any recommendations?
