How can I make my PC have HDTV and RCA? I plan to move into an apartment with my PC as my entertainment center. Using my TV, I would like to connect my Wii and HDTV tuner. I guess I need a video card specifically for this purpose. What video card (or features in one) would I need? How do I get the HDTV signal (this type of tuner can I expect?) To play on my screen (my screen can display an HD signal).
You really do not want to connect your gaming console to a TV tuner. It will work ... but the TV tuner introduced a second delay between what your console is done and what is displayed on the screen. This is not much, but can cause Mario to fall off a ledge before you will be aware of what is happening.
In reality, you will have a screen that has the HD inputs. However they can be more expensive than a separate HDTV.
The cheapest way to record TV on your PC is to use a tuner - either an internal PCI card or a USB external enclosure.
TV tuners for your PC
If you have to spend the extra money needed to buy an HDTV tuner card depends less on the card itself and on the receipt of your TV. Full article here: http://pcworld.about.com/magazine/2302p1 ...
