Ahh, thanks So basically it's just the bundle? If I just want to watch TV on my comp via a standard TV/Antennae cable without any special gimmicks or w/e, then it should be an alright card?

This is a good subject I've seen a few TV cards but never been impressed with the picture quality with the ones I've seen with a standard indoor arial the picture was terible not watchable and on an out door arial the picture was better but still no good in my opinion. If you find a good one can you tell me the model.

MadMatt brings up a valid point. These cards don't do well on an Antenna. But neither does a regular TV unless you boost the signal. Cable and Sat tv is different.
Thanks MadMatt...You just remnded me about the sig booster I used with mine.  If you live fairly close to you tv signal you should have no problem. I worked as a tv tech at one point and I can say from experience that the tuners they are using on these cards are similar to the ones found in tv's today...not just mockups... LC |

Thanks for the replies guys, I'll actually being using a cable, not aerial TV, we just found out we get free cabled TV from the community we live in, so we're chcuking out our aerial. So I just need a little card which looks nice with standard cabled TV
