Internal or external TV Tuner Card?

**Yogesh Sarkar** · 02-06-08, 01:33 PM

I am planning to buy a TV Tuner Card, mainly to record few programs occasionally (TV is placed right next to the computer).

For this purpose, would it be a good idea to go for an internal TV Tuner Card or an external TV Tuner Box?

Also in case any one has any recommendations, then please let me know.

Recording can be done only thru Internal TV Tuner card.

There are external (USB) TV tuner cards, which can do recording

Example: Pinnacle Systems - Product summary - PCTV HD Stick
