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...

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
