External TV Tuners/PVR Devices Tested

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday December 23, 2004 @06:53AM from the i-want-my-pctv dept.

Solomon writes "TV Tuners for the PC have existed for a long time but with the ever increasing popularity of TiVo-like services and the possibility of replicating such features on your Windows PC with little effort and a small investment, tuners have been getting a lot of attention this year. Today there's three-way shootout posted at TechSpot with products from Digistor, Transcend and a very appealing offer from RTV called the VEG that lets you play consoles in your monitor. Although neither of these devices can match TiVo completely, they do give you a very cheap alternative."

Re:What about my TV's tuner by JaffaKREE · 2004-12-23 07:18 · Score: 0, Offtopic

offtopic !?

To answer your question, is the tv worth repairing ? I bought my girlfriend a decent 31" for about $129. It might be an obvious issue if you crack it open, but if it's more complicated the repair bill/parts might not be worth it.
