PC Peripherals External TV Tuner for Samsung 2233SW

[anuragingle]

Hi All,

Can anybody suggest a good External TV Tuner Box for the Samsung 2233SW monitor?

Shouldnt be too expensive abt 1000-2000 Rs, max 3000 Rs.

I currently have a PixelView internal TV Tuner which gives a max resolution of
720 X 576, will this look good on the 2233SW? will there be any pixelation?
Using it currently with a DishTV connection

Thanks

I use Umax Tvision LCD TV tuner card with my 2233. Yes, its external. You an get it for 1.7k approx.

But if you have internal, than why going for an external. Insert it and try it out. Do you have PixelView Play TV Pro 3 ? If yes than, I can say there will not be any pixelation. I don't know abt others.

thanks saqib,

dont know if my internal card is Pro 3, bought it a long time back.

Does the Umax Tvision offer easy switching between PC and TV or do we have to

change cables or something?

Yes, just use the remote to turn off or on the TV. Its very easy to setup. You will get the manual with it.

I though with external TV tuner card you didn't need to switch on the CPU... :S

 

[anuragingle]

dont want to switch off CPU when I'm taking a break and watching TV and vice versa,

Thats why need easy switching.

With my current internal card just need to switch on my dishtv stb and open the TV tuner program

Are there any cards available which do not require a CPU at all
I remember seeing some items, but i was not sure how well they work

I shall be grateful, if any member can share his experience in converting a LCD monitor into a full fledged TV with the help of the External TV Tuner and speakers and the cost involved.

I want to convert a 24" monitor into a TV and my TV Input is through a Digital Cable Set Top Box

Thanks

Heard Gadmei external tv tuners are good value for money and good performance too.

Anybody here using Gadmei TV Tuner with LCD monitors please share your thoughts

I have a samsung 2233SW LCD monitor. I have connected it to and external TV tuner card. I am getting the display on the monitor through a VGA cable. but the monitor persistently shows a message "This is not the recommended resolution etc. etc..." the display goes off after 30-40 sec. I have to restart the TV tuner and then again it works for 40 sec and goes off... "Not optimum display etc etc..." message keeps moving randomly on the screen. I have another 15" analog monitor and the TV tuner works perfectly with it. Anything I can do to get it working without stopping every 40 seconds?
