TV Tuners - USB?
« on: October 08, 2006, 09:54:13 am »
I was looking to Buy A New TV Tuner With FM\AM Would Be Nice

The Problem Is When I Buy My New Computer The PCI Slots Will Be Full, Is There A USB TV Tuner That Also Works With MC11, MC12?

It's a matter of preference I guess, but Pinnacle has USB TV thingies too. Not sure how they work with MC though, you will have to ask around.

ATI TV Wonder USB - cheap
Hauppauge WinTV USB - cheap


Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB - good analog TV and FM radio. MC supports TV only.


Divco FusionHDTV 5 USB Gold - HDTV and analog TV. No FM radio. It even works on unencrypted digital cable TV (not supported in MC).

Hopefully Vista will have backward compatibility.

I can be wrong, but my intuition says the opposite. It seems a device must pass some additional requirement for Media Center Edition.
