TV on Laptop
Is there anyway I'd be able to get TV channels on my laptop?
Does a PCMCIA TV Tuner card really work, like this I found on ebay? http://cgi.ebay.com/PCMCIA-TV-TUNER-...QQcmdZViewItem Last edited by Baldie559; 05-18-2007 at 07:10 AM. Reason: added text |

Re: TV on Laptop
Yes. USB has a bandwidth that is 10 MB/s faster than PCMCIA, so I would go with USB over PCMCIA if possible. It isn't a huge difference, but it will affect performance some.

Re: TV on Laptop
With tuners like that, your best bet is to read the reviews. The external ones generally are bad quality if you don't spend the right money.
Something like this would work well. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815167001 Good, but doesn't support resolutions as high: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815100112
