So here is the thing ...i already got a external TV tuner card..but that doesn't let me record stuff off the TV, so thinking i get the internal one...which help make my PC a media center for all media requirements TV,music,Video's,Games everything.

Here is the dilemma do you suggest i stick with the external TV tuner card or go for new internal one...

If i go for internal one...which one ...within 3k...and also the other thing is do how much can i get if sell this old one...its COmbo TV box bought it for 2k..2yrs back..got all the wires,accessories i got in place..so i can ship it out
 
pinnacle isnt the cheapest one.

btw u can get external tv tuner wid USB interface...these ones feature recording :)

its pretty much like the internal one as they still require the pc to be running in order to be used...just that u get tool free installation ;)
 
hey bro:ohyeah: :hap2: :bleh:

if u r looking for the quality, value for money and Really great features.

then go for Videomate Gold plus2.@Rs. 2800

i am using it from last 1.5years. it records best , wakes up my computer and then shuts it down after recording, it has very flexible options, as i can say it all that a pc needs - a jewel.

i read it's review in audio video mag. or may in chip, i don't remember exactly.

but it's remote is so nice.....every feature described in the mag was right.

n it is having fm also.

pinaccle n techcom were used by me, but i was not satisfied.

buy an chip and call those guys , incquire abt any other tv tuner card reviwed after this, and found better..... then go for it.

i am telling you all this bcz i am a satisfied customer.:clap:

n it is an internal card.
 
Get the pinnacle one, always go with the quality even if it costs a bit more. You will appreciate your decision later on.

One Reason: Lack of device driver updates on the cheaper ones
 
My advice: Go for the Hauppage PVR-150 MCE kit...Will cost u ~1650 bucks and its a steal for the price with hardware encoding for recordings and made for Media Center tag...

Nothing like watching, pausing, recording TV in Media Center without stressing the processor, ain't it?

Infact i am watching more TV than i did for the last 1 year...

It will stump the Pinnacle and whatever cards out dere with software encoding...:ohyeah:
