I rely on sub-titles to watch TV here in Virginia.  I am looking for a TV card to watch TV on my PC but the last one I bought doesn't support close captioning.  Does any one know which TV Tuner card has the Close Capitioning feature, which is easy to set up?

Go to best buy and buy a tv tuner card... they'll install it and everything. Should be anywhere from 20-300 dollars, depending on what quality you go with. They'll be able to help you pick the right one, and you will still have the same old computer, only it'll be a DVR too!

You would have to go to the local stations and see if they have their feed live. Otherwise, you may have to purchase a Win Tv card and hook up cable to the back of your pc to watch live Tv. I have one and it works pretty good. Cable channels will not show live feed of their channels due to commerical rebroadcasting.

OK have you right clicked on the desktop and played with the Advanced settings in the display usually that should open up the ATI software and from there you can tell it under displays usually that you are going to be using your TV....not sure how far you have gotten, but i did have this problem with my ATI in the laptop. just dont do that extend windows monitor crap.    i think you need to elaborate just a little more

You need to have a video card that has an exit for TV set. I think one of GeForces does that. You just have to plug the cordes, and have your TV set show the image, then use your VHS to record the image as if you would record a TV show on a Sat night :)\n\nYou can also find a digital camera, plug to your computer, record the data, have the camer plugged to your TV, and then do the regular casette recording..

See Below for a link to HD-Out cards.\n\nThe video card won't matter for TV watching but it will matter for DVD playback.  Even if you aren't going to game, some low end video cards result in choppy playback.  It depends on how much you want to spend but I like the GeForce 6600 or 6600GT with 128MB of memory.  If you go for the ATi camp then a Radeon 9600XT should be fine.  I know for a fact these provide smooth play back.  Though it depends on what type of connection you were going to use.  Most video cards have S-Video out but it depends on what you were planning to use.\n\nIt also depends on if you are going to use PCIe (PCI Express) or an AGP slot for the card.\n\nI would (depending on the type of connection you want to use) buy a seperate video card and get a PCI TV tuner card, if you have a spare PCI slot.\n\nFor HD-Out cards, see this page but stick to the guidlines above for the GPU, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?submit=PROPERTY&SubCategory=48&propertycodevalue=2328:14100&bop=and&order=PRICE\nMaybe you missed it, the above link will take you to a bunch of cards that have HD-Out.

You need to have a tv tuner card in your computer.  You can buy them at places like Best Buy, CompUSA, etc. It doesn't come standard on computers, unless you have a media center edition that comes with it.

Yeah, chances are your video card s-video connector is an output, not an input.  You can get any TV-capture device and it should support s-video.  Personally, I swear by ATI All-in-wonder cards, but any PCI video capture card will do the trick.

you need a tv tuner card, if you dont have one install one or you can get an external card that allows you to have the computer recieve satellite signal.   heres a good link on the explanation of the external tv tuner:  http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/external-pc-tv-theor/index.html

Hello...\n\nThe links that the other user post are only for information about IPTV... Microsoft offers systems and software for providers not for consumers. \n\nRight now is only 2 companies offering IPTV service in the US. One is a family IPTV service and the other one is an adult IPTV service, which I don't recommend if you want regular tv channels. Because they only offer 180 adult related channels.\n\nNow the other one offers almost 7,000 channels, and is very cheap. Only $69 for their IPTV reciever. I know because my uncle has it and is pretty cool...\n\nI gonna upadate my cable to IPTV pretty soon, too. I hope!\n\nCheck the links below...

The Hauppage program you watch TV on will do it. Just watch TV and click on the button which is usually a small green one inbetween the channel control (can be hard to see!). Whatever is being played through the video input will then be displayed although it will have borders. It makes no difference about graphic power, you're just running the video through the pc so that makes no difference.

Try to find a a TV tuner card that would be compatible with a laptop. There are many available for desktops, but there might be a way to convert one so it can be used on a laptop.

Most TV tuner cards come with software for recording the shows.

I have my computer connected to my tv using a GeForce fx 5500 video card through an s-video cable.  I just right click the desktop screen, click "NVIDIA Analog Display" (my video card settings), then I goto "Display Mode" and do "Clone" instead of single display and then put tv instead of Analog display(monitor) and apply.  \n\nSorry if it sounds confusing.
