ender341 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 In my room i want to use my comp as my TV, but i don't want to have the digital cable box on my desk to be able to watch Sci-Fi (which is about all i watch) so are there any digital decoder capable TV tuners?

ringfinger Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I'd like to eventually be able to do the same thing... I have a digi cable as well through comcast, but not sure if anything but the box can decode the signal? Maybe a splitter out of the box to coax to the card?

ender341 Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 It's coax, but with all the tuners i can find, to view any digital channels i have to have the cable box, which takes up a lot of space on my small desk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
