I have seen that article and still has few more doubts. You mean there is no problem / bottleneck of audio /video data flow in external USB tuners. I am planning it for a desktop with 19" wide TFT monitor. How is USB tuner connected to TFT for video & audio ? Can't we make use of DVI connectivity of TFT & Graphic card.

i.e. are they same like other external TV tuners, where VGA and Audio from PC also pass through tuner so that both PC and TV can be used. If they are same, is there any DVI connectivity in these tuners. What about resolutions?

I have tentatively selected Videomate & ATI theater etc. Please suggest exact model numbers. Great thanks...
