card for hdtv and blue ray and the lot

[Mdowlin2]

I been researching this TV tuner http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815101002 (they carry it retail at circuit city) It has basicly perfect feed back on lots of sites, the only thing keeping people from rating it 5/5 was because of a CC problem it had, but they released a software update that fixes that so there really isn't any complaints any more.

Found out that the February 17, 2009 it will still work perfectly and receive digital through ATSC coax cable. No converter box needed. Also has DVR and can record video from game consoles ect.

Axlrose, I wouldn't be worried about not being able to record tv shows in the future either, it would cost alot of money and be nearly impossible to stop all the software and tuners from recording their programs. Even if they were able to, there would be "hacks" to bypass there security.

A good comparison, I had Comcast before I switched to WOW, and it would be like there internet. They actually charge you more money a month to split the Ethernet by router and run it to other computers, how ever all you need to do is go to the store and buy your own router and it works just fine.

Forgot to post this review I found, read through it, it has screen shots of its quality and video demo of its quality looks great http://www.stokedgamer.com/2008/05/evga-indtube-digital-tv-tuner-review.html

I've been shopping around for a tuner and I just ordered this on newegg based on the rave reviews and good support it is getting from EVGA. I will let you guys know how it is when I get it this week.

I just got the indtube today and I am very impressed. It wasn't as buggy as I thought it would be. The channels come in very clearly and I can get a good picture from either coax cable or ota. Recording feature and remote work well too. I look forward to testing it more.

alright, i think i'm going to be back at that greenbutton site you linked to read it all word for word later, but i think i'm going to give this hauppauge hd pvr a try.

they tell me i need their normal cable box and also a separate hd cable box and then i get all of their hd content, local and cable.

i'm thinking this means i don't have a reason to get a tv tuner card then because this is what their hd box will be. i'll have to have two boxes from them already. this doesn't cost me, i don't believe, for the box, but does cost 6.95 for a second cable box per month and 7.00 for the hd box per month.

does this sound right to anyone? can i take the hauppage tuner card off my wish list for tuesday?

So how is the set top box hooked to the computer without a TV Tuner?
