TV Tuner

[Smithyoffline]

Hi Everybody.
Would just like to know what kind of reception do you receive through the tv tuner cards when they are connected to computer. Is this card worth it? I have a 19 inch screen and I thought instead of watching it on the tv I could watch on the computer while im doing some work!

Thanks for your support

I have a Leadtek, and the reception is so-so. A little better filtering would probably clean it up(since monitors are more prone to show defects due to a higher resolution), but it's definately watchable.

I generally get about what I see on my TV's sometimes a little better, it's a Leadtek as well.

I have the Asus TV880 (with conextant 10-bit chip). I think the reception is quite excellent. If I am very close to the monitor, I can see it's not as good as TV, but from 3 feet away, it is flawless.

I have an ATI TV Wonder VE and the picture is decent, full screen sitting on the couch 10 feet away it's just as clear as a regular TV though.
