No probs buddy...I was away for a few days and couldn't follow up on this. I have my eyes set on the Pinnalce PCTV PCI card. Thanks greenhorn and freeradical :)

BTW one more question guys...Is there any kind of external tuner box using which I can

1) Watch TV on my monitor (without switching on the PC at all)
and
2) Record TV programs on my PC from this box (through USB maybe)

Basically I want to watch TV without switching on my PC, and when required I should be able to record on my PC (after switching it on of course :) )

Any ideas ??
 
I have searched for shopping sites from UK having this product.. and found the price starts from 58 pounds onward + shipping.. which would turn out to be a little above 5k with shipping..
if i go through kmd.. it might turn out to be same as the quote i received from this dealer.

There were a lot of members here from Bangalore who managed to get the same card for about 1.5k if im not mistaken.
