I think Pixel View Play Tv Pro 2 is gud, it has really gud quality, Now Pixel View Play Tv Pro 3 Released, Supports Vista, Cost Around Rs. 1300 (Internal)

what is the performance difference between usb tv tuner and internal card? which shui go 4?

 

[Private Ryan]

Its a no brainer...the internal card works much better and much faster than the USB card....both in reception and recording...Definitely get the pci card...the USB cards are costlier and not at all worth the money...:hap5:
