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."

    You mean macrovision. Not "macromedia."

    Of course this has nothing to do with the TV tuner section of the card, but it function of the video input.

    Unless you can defeat the automatic gain control of the video input, macrovision will probably always be an issue to some extent.
