There is a flavor of the ATI Radeon 9250 is a reasonably priced PCI (not express) card which has a TV-out capability.  I've included a link to the card on pricegrabber below.

pcmcia would work better than usb.  get one with an external antenna and make a new one http://www.turnpoint.net/wireless/cantennahowto.html\ncantennas have crazy range.  something i would try first though is get yourself a set of high gain antennas for your router, that may give you the boost you need, or get a repeater, that will take the wireless signal and boost it to get better range.  another thing you can try is change the wireless channel, it may be getting interference from a nearby access point or cordless phone or even wireless mouse, just play around with the settings and see what you can figure out.

If you need a set-top box to tune in the channels you want, you can't use just the tuner card; you need to plug the box into the card.\n\nIf you cable company supports cablecard, and your tuner card also supports cablecard, you could simply get a cablecard from your cable company and plug that in.

All agree that you need a TV tuner card.  I have a 'Hauppage Win TV' card which is quite good and easy to install into a PCI slot.  Don't forget the coaxial cable and TV connection.  Just follow the installation instructions.  You can do it..

I would stick with the internal, unless it is a older laptop. Internal WiFi antennas run up both sides and across (part) of the top of the laptop's LCD. (If you have an internal Bluetooth card, one side is for Bluetooth and one is for WiFi. The antenna in the LCD is better than that of a WiFi card for several reasons:\n\n1. The antenna is higher up. In simple terms a higher antenna will do better than lower antenna. (Remember using RC cars, if you were getting out of range, you held the controller higher and could still retain control? The same principle applied here as well.)\n\n2. It is very unlikely that anything (with the laptop or your body) will block the signal. With an exernal or PC card, the antenna can easily be blocked by the orientation of the laptop or your body, typically your hand. Also, in early generation built-in WiFi, the antenna was actually under the left palm wrest. (In this case, an external may actually be better.)\n\nYou may get a better connection with an external if there is a pysical problem with the built-in WiFi. I would first try to update the drivers on your laptop. If that does not help, borrow a friends card and see if that makes any diference. \n\n\nJason

Buy a cantenna. It's a Wifi receiver that boosts the reception range of your PC or laptop's wifi card. They sell for about 50 dollars.

i doubt you have to install an internal antenna in a laptop. all laptops prepared for an internal mini pci wireless card have the antenna already integrated. you cannot do that yourself, because the antenna is built-in in the rear side of the screen.\nin case you have a pcmcia wireless card you don't need an antenna, it's already integrated in this type of cards.

NO! Infact, I doubt that you would find anymore PCI graphics cards in stores like Best Buy or Circuit City.  A very breif list of graphics card slots in order of appearance:\n\n1.PCI graphics slot (Phased out)\n2.AGP graphics slot, 4x to 16x (Phasing out)\n3.PCI-Express graphics slot (Recently introduced)\n\nAlso, each slot has a different design.  So you can't place a card for one type of slot in a different type.  It won't fit, making it physicaly impossible without cutting and grinding (damaging the card beyond repair)

To boost the signal of your wireless router I would recommend buying a suitable enhanced antenna from your local computer store. They are designed to work with your router. There are also signal boosting devices that can be used throughout your home/office to help increase your signal coverage and wipe out dead spots.\n\nAs for the Sat dish; if you want to be Dr. Frankenstein and experiment you can go to your local Radio Shack and get the proper adapters to convert the connection from one to the other. Not sure if they will have the proper adapter for the router though. You may have to improvise. Will you succeed? I am very doubtful. Sat dishes are used to RECEIVE SIGNALS, not TRANSMIT! You may get better luck just using the coax cable used with the dish. But then again, stranger things have happened...

Get the cable company to rewire the house.  Coaxial cable more than 25 years old doesn't reject EMI/RFI interference very good.  Also see if the cable company will install an amplifier, that should take care of any weak signal issues.
