Solve : tv tuner? |
|
Answer» hi, everyone i want to buy tv tuner, as i guess, this is the hardware that will give me the opportunity to watch TV. am i right?? Yes, but you will need a coaxial cable ... You will need a TV tuner which will fit, and an aerial cable, unless you will be satisfied with the dodgy standard portable aerial usually supplied. I never understood why one would want to turn a PC into a TV set... My TV was smaller, only had mono sound and no teletext. For +/- 200-300 euros I could buy a new proper TV and for 70 euros I was able to turn my PC into a TV which has a 19" LCD monitor and stereo sound that is of much higher quality than the TV speakers you get nowadays. he choice was easily made.

Plus (with the right tuners) you can record and watch as many channels as you like, at the same time. I wanted one for my laptop, but Expresscard tuners are not cheaply available yet, besides the port is blocked by my sound card. A USB tuner may be an option, but I first need an aerial cable in my room. So for me, the reasons are that the TV I have is small, has awful picture and sound quality, and has no VCR/DVD recorder. This laptop has better video/sound quality by far, a BIGGER screen which is also widescreen, and has a 100Gb HDD, plus 250Gb external HDD, plus DVDRW drive. So I can record an infinite number of programmes I like with better quality, and more channels. See my point?Well in these rare cases i guess it would make sense...

What the heck kind of TV's are they sellin over there if they are smaller than a laptop screen ? ? These aren't BLACK and white units by any chance are they ? ? ?Quote from: patio on April 19, 2007, 08:15:46 PM Well in these rare cases i guess it would make sense...14" portable TV (yes it's colour, I'm not a barbarian ) as a bigger TV would be too expensive, and wouldn't fit on my DESK very well. I'm cramped for space as it is, and I only wanted it to play my PS2 on a few years back (said PS2 now sites under my desk gathering dust, cowering in FEAR at the sounds of real games on a real gaming unit). The laptop screen is 15.4", which is a lot bigger than it sounds. Fantastic for watching movies on, and for gaming. I still yearn for a desktop though. |
