Using PC as TV

    Hi,

    I'm purchasing a new PC shortly and have intentions of using it as a TV also.

    I am ordering the following:

    Integrated Hybrid (Analogue/Digital) TV tuner PCIe x1 card and Dell™ remote control.

    Can you please advise me on what else I need to be aware of?

    Anyone else doing the same, how do you find it?

    Thanks...

    First of all, make sure the computer you're ordering does actually have a 1x slot. It should do, but it's better to be sure....otherwise, you can get cards in PCI format.

    Have you any specific questions? Lots of people use their PC to watch and record TV....it's very straight forward. :)
