TV tuner questions
Hi all. I am thinking about getting a TV tuner for my Win7 PC and had a few basic questions regarding set-up that I'm hoping can be answered by someone who's had experience with this.
What I want to be able to do, obviously, is watch cable TV on my computer but not necessarily have to rely on the over-the-air digital signal, as I'm not interesting in mounting antennas, worrying about signals, etc. In my office I have a single cable wall jack that I know for a fact puts out both basic cable and internet.
If I install a TV tuner, will it automatically recognize the cable TV signal that I know comes out of the wall in addition to the internet, or will I need to get a splitter to split the signal from the wall (one singal to my modem for internet, the other to the TV tuner for cable TV)? If I need a splitter, any particular type?
Any other advice is welcome. Not looking for a major home theater experience here, just mostly want to watch basic cable while I surf the web. Thanks in advance!
