Her4e I am typing while I am watching TV in a window. This is cool. My wife will really hate me now. I am glad I got this card.
How many of you do this?
Dam window keeps getting in the way!

I do, and I love it.

but your right the window does keep getting in the way....what tv card do you have?

I have an avermedia tv/fm 98 one. works fine. But im thinking of selling it and my video card for an ati all in wonder since i watch dvd's on my computer also. Save me a much needed pci slot. if you wanna go overkill, for awhile I had a second video card with a second monitor and i moved the tv over to that and had it running full screen....geek? yeah thats me.

Ha, well I have it tough....I have to turn my head about 20 deg. to the left to see the tv.

doesn't that hurt??? :P

It is a Hauppauge WinTv card. It cost me $50. Its not stereo though. Just a cheap card and the software sucks. Good picture.
I got it to send avi's and pics to my mom and sister.
I wanted to get an all-in-wonder. Wife said it was to much money to spend before christmas. Maybe next month.
Yea that has to hurt!

i'll stick to the 27" to my left

[yammahoppy]

not me. if i want to watch tv i will turn on my 40" mitsubishi.
best tv ever made.

13" sitting behind the monitor & very slightly to the left. Can see either or both w/o movement.
Those tuner cards do look cool, but I just can't see it when a small color TV costs little more & doesn't take up a slot or monitor space!(not to mention sys resources)

Those sony vega's are sweet! I'd sell various body parts for the 32". Ha, though I guess I'd feel pretty silly when HDTV is mainstream. When is that supposed to happen again???

[chipbgt]

I want to get the ati also because ( i assume) it supports surround sound...this one i have is stereo but with these surround sound speakers im wasting the back ones ;-)
