I'm looking for a very basic TV tuner for my machine. I don't have a tv
right now and I want something I can hook my VCR into. I'm looking to
spend the least amount of money so old hardware gotten off e-bay is the
idea. Any recomendations?
I'd recommend the good old Miro PC TV family. Bt848 or 878. Also widely used,
at least in Europe, are the Hauppauge WinTV cards but they are of somewhat
lesser quality IMHO (soldering not very neat, etc. One of these actually
burned out on me once with some of the circuitry getting completely melted).
In any event, the tuner unit will get warm/hot so put it in a slot where it
has some breathing space. Not next to your graphics card for example.
HTH,
