TV on your desktop

[buckaroo]

Does anyone have a TV tuner on their computer? I have had this nice little card for about two years now and love it. I can watch TV while I'm surfing the net, shootin the breeze with y'all, or while I work on projects with the PC. I can resize the TV to any size from full screen, to the smallest it will go, 1 1/2 inches by 2 inches. I have to really hike the sound, but that's easy with either the knob on the speakers or with the sound level here on the PC. The cost of this little jewel was only about 59 bucks at the time.

never had one, would like to though. Just wasn't on my mind at the time or didn't have the funds.

I've thought about it.......but the TV is in the living room just like our computers so I listen and if I hear something interesting I switch attentions. Have to spin my chair but, hey, we all need a little excerise once in a while.

We got this great treadmill and put it here in the computer room. While walking on it, it's nice to be able to listen to music or watch TV. Didn't want to bring in one of the other sets cause I though there was already a 17 inch monitor and it would make a great little TV. Bought the tuner and set it up in no time. I love it.

That would be cool to have. I always had to get off the computer when something good was on TV, that would have been usefull. We got a small Tv in this room about 2 months ago and that was cool. Right now I am watchign the news.

Here's a photo of my desktop with the TV. I've only got it taking up a small space, but you can size it any size you want. Also, you can hide the console at the bottom.
