Tuner Card Question

[Null]

when i say component cables, i mean video. they are red blue green cables (all for video) and are high quality.

what you have is composite, which is yellow video, red/white audio. and that works fine for audio, infact the red/white plugs are usually still used with the component video. however the yellow plug for video is NOT for high quality, it would give a normal tv picture, component would give a HDTV picture (assuming the video your feeding into it is HD or a higher resolution). but yes, if your not worried about getting the higher quality then your converter and yellow plug should work for that.



second, yes. infact pretty much all TV cards are PCI, the others are external USB. and i think theres a couple that plug into the network. but i dont think i've ever seen a TV card thats internal that doesnt use a pci slot. its pretty much standard.

however for a HDTV card your looking at a lot more then $30, it would be around $100, at least as far as i can see with the ones i've seen. (im still looking for one, that does what i need)





[EDIT] Also, what console are you planning on using it for? the x360 and ps3, maybe even nintendos might have direct cables you can buy to plug the console directly into the monitor.

theres also sperate boxes that you can use to plug a console into the monitor.

but if you are wanting to use it for a TV also then the card is the better choice.
