:confused:

Watching TV is excellant, the sound quality depends on what kind of soundcard you have got. I have a SB Audigy2 ZX card. I have only used it for capturing video from a video recorder but the quality was pretty good.

Thanks for all the good advice about TV Tuner cards. I will probably get the WinFast TV tuner-TV2000XP Deluxe but the SABRENT SBT-TVFM PCI Interface TV Tuner Video Capture Card FM Radio w/ Remote has some good specs, features and it also gets good reviews at Newegg.com:

Has anybody heard of or used this brand? Is it any good? Should I stick with the WinFast TV tuner-TV2000XP Deluxe?
