Tech-Com HD LCD SSD-TV-724 TV Tuner review

[desiibond]

Recently, I decided to move to linux. However I tried, I was not able to get TV to work on linux (using internet PCI tv tuner). And since I don't want to keep Windows just for TV watching, thought of purchasing a budget TV tuner box that I can connect to LCD and that support widescreen output.

I went to a local dealer and first purchased Zippys TV Tuner box which was pathetic with really bad quality and the quality was so bad that I returned it immediately. Here are few pictures of this card:

Next I went for Tech-Com SSD-TV-724 TV as the dealer promised that he will take back this card if it does not work well.

Paid 1500 rupees for this card, which I think it a bit high but there was not many options here.
