TV Tuners For The PC: Internal Or External

Posted by timothy on 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."

    Dear Satan,

    Please send me a magical spaceship that I may ride above the happy rainbows up into the sky and deep into space. That I may be free of mindless TV, stupid people that spend their lives snapping their teeth at money like it's some kind of communion wafer, and people shoving their religion and bullshit ideas into your head to sell a product that's just another useless piece of shit.

    Thanks for listening Satan.

    The True Path To Peace And Salvation. Pray These Words.
    Heavenly Father, I know that I'm a sinner; my heart aches from all my transgressions. I come to you now looking for mercy. I believe that you love me and that you sent your Son, JESUS, so that I may obtain salvation. I believe that, right at this very moment, I am being washed from all my sins with the precious blood of JESUS. I accept the forgiveness that JESUS came to give me.

    I believe that I have been born again and that I am now in Christ. I confess with my mouth that JESUS is Lord and believe in my heart that you raised Him from the dead.

    From this moment on I am a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! Help me Father to live my life from now on just as you always wanted it to be. In JESUS' name, AMEN

    You're certainly entitled to your predilections, but I've never really thought that going and parking a large vehicle on a concrete pad and hooking it up to sewer and electricity, and then staying inside it, has very little to do with "camping".

    I mean, knock yourself out, but I think we need to come up with another verb. To my mind, one of the prime virtues of "camping" is "low impact on my environment", which a 30' diesel powered truck with satellite TV is not.
