586800 2007-09-01 05:12:00 Hello.
I do not know what tv tuner buy. I need tuner only to watch only NZ 1-5 channels on my laptop. So i do not need very expensive one. At trade me i found some, such as: Gemini USB TV Tuner Box, PixelView PlayTV Box5. Could anybody advise me what tuner to buy.

Thanks.

586801 2007-09-01 05:49:00 I've sold a couple of These (www.pbtech.co.nz) and they had no complaints - as they never came back saying it was junk - so I spose no news is good news :lol: wainuitech (129)

Reliability and quality or cheap.

586806 2007-09-01 08:33:00 but PixelView PlayTV Box5 not a very cheap, about $110... Mat36 (12762)
586807 2007-09-01 09:27:00 I think for a TV tuner, that might actually be cheap. Its all relative. beeswax34 (63)
586808 2007-09-01 10:12:00 So, it is better to buy expensive tuner analog&digital. But what standart of digital tv are avaliable in New zeland: DVB-T, DVB-S or other, in order to watch SKY TV on my laptop.
Thanks in advance.

586809 2007-09-01 11:55:00 in order to watch SKY TV on my laptop. You did not say that. It is illegal to view Sky TV through a tuner other than Sky decoder. It is legal (AFAIK) to have a Sky decoder and use the AV out to go into the TV tuner, I do this.

And the others are right... buy cheap get crap... :2cents:
