I'm looking into buying a TV tuner for my computer and I need help deciding what to buy. So if any of you have knowledge in the area it would be greatly helped, of course by the time i get feed back it will probably be to late

Anyways this is what i want out of it.
  • S-Video Input
  • Some sort of audio input or decoder.
1) The primary reason I want this is so I can use my DVD player to watch movies though my computer. I want to feed the fiber optic audio wire straight to my receiver rather than going though my computers sound card. My computer can't handle DTS sound and It sounds to me like the surround is simply having problems.

2) I would like to be able to play PS2 on my computer screen. With a S-Video input i could switch the feed to the playstation. And feed the audio to my stereo (or the computer if possible). I think that would be really cool since i wouldn't have to use my roommates TV to play my PS2.

3) Watch TV. My roommates TV sucks royal ass and watching TV on it is a pain so if were both watching something we could be using my computer. Other wise I could watch my own thing one of my screens while doing stuff on the other.

I have been looking on newegg.com for what i want to buy. But my older brother is being stubborn and has to sleep. (what good is sleep?)

Oh yeah as far as price range. I would like to keep it under 100 dollars but no more than 150. Thanks in advance for any helpful input.

Update: Currently looking at this one http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-116-308&depa=0
Update 2: this one looks better http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-116-307&depa=0

Keep this forum serious! Topics about war, political, the world, and problems in the world are examples of serious issues.

Don't think this fits in this forum.

A DVD drive is cheaper than this wire stuff... and 5.1 speakers can be bought for 50 bucks... look around.

I didn't ask you to critique my motive. I have a dvd drive and my stereo system is much better than any 50 bucks could do you.

I find this perty serious its about me spending money lol. Well if yoshi wants to keep it to politics and babble like that then he more than welcome to move the thread. I don't get how this is garbage.

PS you mis quoted the description.

I think this quilfies as technical.

Well I quoted from the thread description that shows when you read a thread... Anyway, I doubt many of us would know the answer, good luck finding one bolt...

Yoshi should really rename garbage forum to general forum... I would hate to waste 35 bucks on a "garbage" forum.

Maybe i need to clear that up with yoshi. If this is just super serious topics. Like politics religion and all that then where to the normal off topic stuff go? Like This, Trivia questions, or topic about your favorate vacation getaway.

Maybe i need to reconsider what i veiw as garbage or not. But i consider the garbage topics stuff like "I'm Uber now", or Pepsi Vs Coke. What do we do with Whats your favorate music / song topics.

Err *raises white flag for yoshi*

Yes i know not many of you can help, but hopefully some one can. My brother told me about the cards and it took me like a hour just to find where there listed on newegg.com
