CNET editors' buying advice

We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on TV Tuner Adapters. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of tv tuner adapter.

TV Tuners for Computers

While the ability to watch TV on a computer has existed for a while, Windows Media Center has brought more attention to the idea. However, this is not a normal ability and requires special equipment. This can either be a graphics card that includes a TV tuner, a separate TV tuner card, or a separate external device (usually USB).

The next concern is an analog vs. a digital TV signal. You will either need to know which is available in your area, or get some form of hybrid or combo card that can do both. An analog TV tuner that can do its own decoding (in hardware) is considered higher quality than ones that off-load it to the main processor.
