Hi, everyone.
Is there an affordable TV tuner out there that receives off-air
(antenna) or cable TV and produces a good TV picture on a regular PC
monitor with only the video display connector (no PC required, of
course.) Picture need not be HD - just ordinary NTSC would be fine.
Reason: I would like to utilize a spare 17 inch IBM hi-resolutuion PC
monitor (with, IIRC, up to 70 Hz vertical scan, 1280 x 1024 pixels
and 0.24 mm dot size) as decent a basement TV since it's resale value
for the office is close to zero.
Feel free to email me at "analogdino attaboy rogers dotty as they come
com" (suitably decoded - the visible address is an anti-span fake.)
Thanks for all replies.
Cheers,
Roger |

Actually there are. If you consider $39 affordable.

A Google for NTSC to VGA led to this one.
