compatible tv tuner card: Does anyone know if there is a tv tuner card that can be fitted inside this thing?

To answer your question, no, there is not enough room to put a tv tuner in this. Howeverthere a number of usb tv tuners available...I haven't used one myself but I have seen them before and read about many people using them with this unit.

This would depend on what slot the TV card needs, there are no extra PCI Express slots available, only two of the small PCI slots

Cant figure out why it would. this device was designed to adapt VGA (computer video) to composite or sometimes called component video. In simpler terms computer to TV. I beleive what you are looking for is a TV tuner card to install inside your computer. BUT it does the job that it was intended to, however, though the resolution is good enough for watching movies using an old TV. for computer tasks (reading is still not there yet and probably will never be) as the new screens available are VGA,HDMI and usually composite ready. Our old TV's are dinosaurs. just giving you the info I know.

think about what you are talking about for a moment. Your t.v. uses a coax cable hook up. You can plug the USB part of this device into the t.v. if your t.v. has a USB port but you will still be using the coax cable to access the tuner and the tuner that will be accessed is the tuner in the device you are thinking of buying. You probably will not get as many stations if you use the tuner that this device is equipped with; you will probably get more stations using your t.v.'s own tuner. Besides that the one that I got the package was okay but the device inside was broken; totally. If you do buy it; it was meant for the computer as a video capture device. Its up to you.

Yes, to the SSD and internal drive. As long as you get a TV card that is PCI express, then you can fit one. The PCI express slots are the small ones about an inch long, not all TV cards are PCI express.

I don't know. There was a list of compatible models in the item description. My TV was one of them.

just call magnavox they should have remotes you can buy for that particular tv.. they dont cost much and would be the best bet as it would match the tv..

It would seem as if the most part - cable card integration with TVs have been a failure. In reality, it should have worked, but at the time you post this question, the cable companies were very lenient on required standards. And also at the time, they could have said they don't have any and there was nothing that can be done. Now, there are regulations for standards, and requirement of availability. In a matter of fact, new set top boxes you would get from the company has a cable card slot. However, this is too little - too late. TVs will now have to do more than just be a TV, and the manufacturers are falling behind in the needs I personally feel they must address. The main reason to get a cable card is reduction of fees and integration. What's the point of having a TV with a cable card slot if it can't record shows for you? If you are still looking for alternatives, Ceton Corp is what I noticed to be the best solution. They have PCI-X adapters, and USB 2 adapters that will allow you to plug your cable cable card into a Windows 7 PC. There are no fees such as from TiVo, but you may not like the clunky looking PC next to your TV. I will look into getting a dedicated machine that will look better for the home theater. The Ceton Adapter can support 4 simultaneous channels. In addition, they will have a DVR/Blu-Ray player coming later in the year that will support 6 simultaneous channels. However, if your goal was to get rid of the box and have just a TV, even 3 years later - this has been more of a pipe dream for the consumer.

yes, its possible. You'll need what's known as a tv-card. Basically, it allows you to plug in a coax signal to watch tv on your computer. I found it was great when I was in college where space is limited. The majority of these cards also come with the ability to input an RCA and s-video signal, just requires an open PCI slot on your desktop. The brand I have is Winfast and I believe it was around $50 when I got it, though that was about 8 years ago. Good luck.

It does not have anywhere to put a card... Isn't that what a cable/satellite box is for? The card goes in the box provided by the cable service provider.

Your looking at a component output so if the TV will accept component input it should work..

Unfortunately you will be unable to put that card in the available slots. The video card included covers up the PCI-E slot that is needed for that card.

NO. This setup is suppose to be for European standard the way it was listed. Even the driver and software you download are not to view video TV with. You will find other TV tuner sticks on the market you can view digital and analog TV with.

While "Entreri" is correct, I HAVE placed one right next to the TV (cable TV tuner on my PC) and it worked great. It just depends on what's wrong with the signal in the first place.

Unfortunately not televisions are compatible with slimport coding...before buying a slimport adapter to attach your android device you should contact your TV manufacturer to make sure it can accept the input from the slimport device

You can buy adapters - I've seen them online, but I don't remember where. You could also try Radio Shack.
