This is a Awesome Card:



TV on PC: Compro Videomate Tv Gold Plus | Tom's Hardware

Check that !!

don't these new set top decoders directly connect to graphic card's VIVO inputs? You are gonna get a 8800GTX na... it's most probably gonna have VIVO.
There you go...

The Philips SAA7134 is the worst chipset in terms of image quality. You are better off with a Hauppage or ATI card. Might cost a bit more but worth it. However these tv tuners won't work if you ever have to deal with DTH or CAS.

@Chaos ... which card do u recommend then ... apart from the Pinnacle Series.

@Chaos, is connecting these Boxes (RCA out) thru VIVO not possible? well have to use a RCA - Svideo aconvertor though... what say?

Abhi... sorry for hijacking your thread re.

^^That is possible... no need for tv tuner then. Just use VIVO on video card .

You could get the Pinnacle 110i within that range

Pinnacle Systems - Product summary - PCTV 110i

Thanks for the reply guys

@Google, Will the 8800GTX have a Onboard Tuner ?.

@Chaos, Can u recommend a Card from Hauppage or ATI, with the Price ? But i m Kinda Tight on Budget.

@thexfactor, How much do u think will the 110i be available for ?, i thought it was 4K onwards.

I have a eye on this card.

.

VIVO = video in/video out . You can plug in a Set top box/decoder/dvd player , or any video source for that matter . it wont input RF signals , only video

if you're asking if the 8800 will have a tuner like the ATi AiW series, i dont think the versions being sold now do so. Nvidia used to have "personal cinema " tuner integrated cards, but dont think they do so anymore

The ATI card is Powercolor Theater 550 Pro which is available for around 4-4.5 grand. Its definitely worth it and the best tv tuner you can get in India at the moment.

@Chaos,

Where can I get Theater550Pro card ?
Please suggest any Mumbai or Pune dealer.

Thanks

Just had a talk with my uncle, he says he can also bring a TV Tuner Card from USA, So now i m entitled to more options .

So plz Suggest a Card from Buy TV Tuner Card, PC TV Tuner, PCI Tuner Card, USB Tv Tuner, USB TV, TV Device at Newegg.com
Budget: $76.

Beware the cards brought from US might be NTSC. So it might not work as well with PAL systems. Just be sure that the card you get is PAL-B compatible as well.
