thing that turns PC --> TV

salams

i have to take that card/component to pakistan that u install into a normal computer and then you can watch TV on it…somebody asked me to bring it…

i am not sure what it is exactly…

i was just planning to go to Fry’s, ask around, and buy one…

does anybody own such a thing? any tips before i get it? is there some online place i should order it or should i just get it from Fry’s?

any advice/info at all would be much appreciated

TV Tuner Card

thanks Faisal bhai

will any of them work in Pakistan? :konfused: or do i have to get a special one?

Just buy it from a Pakistani computer market. You'll get it cheaper (Rs 1500-2000 maybe I bit more for a brand name one) and with local warrenty.

You need a card that Supports PAL.

pandra so, do hazar? wow thats really cheap!! i thought it would be expensive...hmmm...well thats good news....

thanks for the info..

i guess then its better if its bought in pak then....hmm...

Yes, they're quite cheap nowdays. They range from about 20 dollars to well over 100 dollars.

thanks for the info DS and FW :)

Irem, I use this card called Winnov Videum AV (Winnov Videum AV - 60-0027 - Graphics Cards - CDW.com for tech specs). It supports both NTCS and PAL. I’m upgrading it, just bought the new ATI All-in-wonder 9800 Pro.

Winnov is technically a video capture card but if you have a cable box or ur channeling it thru a VCR it can be used. I’m actually selling that card if you’re interested. Its actually on the higher end of the spectrum (at CDW its $169). I’ve used mine for about a year and would take $90 (+s&h) for it. Let me know.
