TV Tuners For The PC: Internal Or External

Posted by timothy on Saturday June 19, 2004 @11:09AM from the whatabout-for-linux-users dept.

~*77*~ writes "TV tuners are gaining popularity for simple TV watching on your home PC, as well providing capturing capabilities intended to rival Tivo style devices. BigBruin.Com has new reviews taking a look at two TV tuners in the $50 range... An internal, PCI device from Leadtek... And an external, USB 2.0 device from Transcend... Head to head testing decide whether either is worth your time or money."

This looks cool - but I don't understand the specifications on their website. It says "native 1280x768" resolution at one point, and yet also says "displays up to 1280x1024". Which is it?? I don't think my video card supports the 1280x768 resolution, and I *really* don't want to read "super-widescreen text", i only like it for movies...
