TV Turners

I have the Windows Vista 64-bit and it has the Media Center but I need a tv turner. Any suggestions on which one is good.

You could use about any kind of swivel to turn it, attach a couple strings or use a stick to turn it remotely.

Or, you could correct your spelling to read, "tuner", you may change the title to read "TV Tuners". That would mean a whole different thing

Ok, invite Ted over to the house for dinner and an evening of TV viewing.

I think this would be an ideal TV turner.

My tuner card came with the PC and works well, but I don't know what brand or model it is (it isn't identified anywhere).

I also have a Hauppauge WinTV HVR-950Q USB adapter that works OK with Win7 on my notebook.

I had a Pinnacle PCTV USB2 (bought it in '04) which I barely used. At any rate, it broke in '09. Other than that it was alright. But unless you're going for a laptop (at the time I only had a laptop) I'd probably go with an internal PCI device.
