HDTV tuner card
My internet cable provider sent me a set top TV box and said I can use it to watch basic cable on my PC at no additional charge. Nothing is ever free, I need a way of connecting to the PC. I've looked at the TV tuner cards and my head is spinning. From $10 usb sticks to $150+ pci cards. I'm not sure I want to install another pci card, it's already crowded inside my PC.
I would like to hear suggestions from those who have these devices. This well be for watching in my office while I'm using the PC. I already have a home theater with 65" 3d, surround, SAT, on demand to watch reruns of Gunsmoke.
Are these cheap usb tuner sticks worth the time and effort to mess with?
