Choosing a TV tuner card
Several TV tuner card types are available. Here are points to consider when shopping for one.
• Installation: Some TV tuner cards snap into one of the computer's internal "slot" connectors, either a PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) slot or the AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) slot. This requires opening the computer's case with a screwdriver. For less handy types, plug-and-play TV tuner cards are available that connect to the PC's Universal Serial Bus (USB) port, though these cards lack some of the features of the internal cards.
• Minimum requirements: Your PC should have a lot of storage space and processing power, especially to do TiVo-like functions. For instance,Marvel G450 eTV tuner card from Matrox requires a PC with at least 128 megabytes of RAM, a 600 megahertz or better processor and 2 gigabytes of free hard disk space.
• Monitor compatibility: Select a TV tuner that has a frequency rate that's as great or greater than your PC's monitor. Frequency rate measures how often the TV tuner card and monitor refresh the image on the screen, measured in hertz or cycles per second. A 75 hertz TV tuner refreshes the image 75 times per second. Most new monitors are compatible with 75 to 85 hertz TV tuners.
Extras: Some TV tuners can zoom, or enlarge the TV image, and offer different television window sizes on the monitor. Others are dual head, allowing users to put TV images on more than one monitor or follow a video game from two different angles on the same monitor. Users also may want models with remote controls to change channels from a distance.
