I was wondering if anyone had purchased an HP media center computer and installed a cable card. I brought one 2 weeks ago and I want to install a cable card to view HD and digital cable. Thanks in advance. |

As far as watching HD Signals on your computer, I don't know of any cards that are compatible with HD TV. |

Bronze Member Username: AculousPost Number: 29 Registered: Jun-06 | theres tons of cards that are HD compatible. Avermedia has a couple and haugauge has one. Go with the Avermedia cards. Also there is a card called the fusionhdtv 5 which is really good but not really a consumer grade card. More for someone who is a computer professional, however a person could most likely install just fine themselves. I would go for the avermedia usb models because of ease of install and you can get the kit which comes with the remote and receiver. Check out cnet.com for some reviews of tv tuner cards. companies to look at are FusionHDTV cards, Hauppauge, and Avermedia. Make sure they are HD compatible, most are not. www.digitalconnection.com https://www.digitalconnection.com/store/Product_List.asp?CID=3&CAT=HDTV%20TUNER% 20CARD |
