I am currently using an ATI ALL-IN-WONDER 2006 EDITION -  RADEON 9600 256 MB TV tuner. The nice things about the all-in-wonder cards is they are high quality graphics cards with TV tuners built in. Excellent frame-rate on games and no lag on the TV. There are tuner-only cards you can get (MSI TV Anywhere, ATI TV Wonder) and I know ATI makes a USB TV Wonder, but I personally prefer to have everything in one package. I expect you would have poorer performance on a seperate PCI card or USB adapter.

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 can run the PowerLeap upgrade configurator, to see what your system is capable of, in regards to upgrades. http://www.powerleap.com/\nHowever, they are way overpriced, so take the info and run like heck, to Fry's, or a compatible store!!\nIs the floppy drive working?\nYou did not  really give us your existing configuration, so answering your TV Tuner card question could be hard ?\n{e.g. who made you motherboard?, CPU specs (P3-could range from 450MHz. to 1.3GHz}?, Use of TV Tuner card - watch TV, or record, an burn movies?

mmmmm.........i think you guys have really underestimated what your in for :P.      for starters just a pc and a tv out graphic doesn't cut it for broadcasting.      now for the software vizrt are the standard in the industry,  their software is awesome its a bit to get your head around at first.   we use it a lot for the work i do and the results are nice :)   if you plan on broadcasting live with these features then you will need more than one computer,  maybe 3-4.     its just too much of a workload for one.      as for hardware grass valley hardware would be the standard to with video and broadcasting.           \n\ncheck out their websites for more info :)\n\nwww.vizrt.com  \nhttp://www.thomsongrassvalley.com/

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.

There are several good tuner solutions on the market today, but I haven't personally used any that are external and use USB. \n\nI think plextor makes a good USB SD solution:\nhttp://www.plextor.com/english/products/product_dvc.html\n\nHauppauge also makes a USB SD solution:\nhttp://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_pvrusb2.html\n\nThe only HDTV capable capture cards on the market do *not* support windows. But, they work great in linux and are extremely well supported by the mythtv (PVR) project & community.\n\nThe HD capture cards are made by the pcHDTV company.  \nhttp://www.pchdtv.com/ \nthe pcHDTV™ HD-3000 is thier latest & greatest.\n\nAs far as windows goes, the best cards are made by the hauppauge company.\nhttp://www.hauppauge.com/\nThey have several cards that you might look at (if you can add a PCI card instead of USB device).  I personally recommend the WinTV-PVR-350 as a first card.  It comes with a remote and uses hardware on the card to do the encoding (saves CPU bandwidth) and if you choose to use it for video out, it also has a hardware encoder.\n\n\nCheck out these links for an open source PVR project:\n\nhttp://www.mythtv.org/\nhttp://www.mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html\n\nWell, I hope that helps.
