Video Capture through External TV Tuner

[mohanty1942]

Sir,
I want an external TV tuner Box which I can use on my 19" LG LCD Monitor without switching on the PC.

However I want to record TV programs whenever I want by switching on the CPU (via USB port). I hope external TV tuners with both VGA out & USB interface should be available.

I searched a lot but couldn't find a qualifying product, Pls help me finding the exact model.

Thank you.

not possible, for this you will need not a TV Tuner but set top box, like Dish TV, Tata Sky and all.

There are many products available if you wanna record when system is on.

Check Pinnacle 50e,
I had used a USB TV Tuner from UMax (cost 1800) had good quality and alright recording.

What do you mean by VGA out & USB interface.

What do you mean by VGA out & USB interface.

By VGA Out : I mean I can connect to any CRT/LCD Monitor without switching on PC.

By USB interface : I mean the same external tV tuner should have a optional USB interface which may stream video to PC for recording whenever required.
