 | Re: TV Tuners the external tend to use USB2.0 which is a much slower connection than the internal PCI or PCIe.... but otherwise if you take 2 very similar units, they will perform almost the same, with the internal having a much faster response to everything  Thanks HL and Corsair!

| Re: TV Tuners Depending what you want to do, just watch TV/HDTV? Or connecting gaming systems/camcorder/etc. I know a lot of people like Hauppauge's USB TV Tuners.

| Re: TV Tuners Just spoke to the techs at Hauppauge - they recommended their 1600 or 1800, but said there's some problem with 4 gigs of ram, which I have. "3 gigs good, 4 gigs bad", or something like that. | ||||||||||||||
