Internal or external TV Tuner Card?

[Yogesh Sarkar]

I am planning to buy a TV Tuner Card, mainly to record few programs occasionally (TV is placed right next to the computer).

For this purpose, would it be a good idea to go for an internal TV Tuner Card or an external TV Tuner Box?

Also in case any one has any recommendations, then please let me know.

Look for brands like leadtek or pinnacle.

Thanks Varad, any particular recommendation?

Sorry I Have No Idea About Its Cost

Take A TV Tuner Card Which Will Give Support To DishTV,Tata Sky And Others

[Yogesh Sarkar]

I don't think I'll need DishTV o Tata Sky support because I don't have them right now and don't see myself using them in near future.

go for WinFast TV2000XP Global (http://www.leadtek.com/eng/tv_tuner/overview.asp?lineid=6&pronameid=169) retails around 2.4k

I would recommend Leadtek WinFast DTV1800 H (http://www.leadtek.com/eng/tv_tuner/overview.asp?lineid=6&pronameid=315) which should be around Rs. 3000-3500.

I Think You Should Go For Pinnacle Systems TV Tuner.

ya , As far as tv tuner card concerned pinnacle is the best.

Yup Pinnacle is good, however spending 3-4k for something I am only going to use maybe once or twice a month is something that I am a bit apprehensive about.
