What Is a TV Tuner Card for a PC?
A TV tuner card is a hardware device that, when installed on or connected to a computer, allows live television to be broadcast and viewed over the computer. A TV tuner card is a type of video capture card. It can often be used with other video devices like DVD players or PVRs, but it specializes in working with TV signals. This is mainly because the card has an internal tuner that allows someone to change TV channels while viewing. Available in internal and external types, TV tuner cards can install a television on the computer desktop, and some external cards can work with just a computer monitor.
