DVB-T hybrid Tuner

Im looking for a DVB-T and analoge tuner, My options are PCMCIA, USB or Expresscard/34

I basically need the analouge for playing ps2 through my notebook screen so if theres a digital tuner that has s-video input or rca input then I dont need the analoge. Price is a pretty big issue for me and 150$ AUD (110USD) is about my limit.

 

I'm not entirely sure what DVB-T is, but I've been looking for something for my laptop to play ps2 games on too and got recommended a Leadtek TV USB 2.0 Delux

The guy at IT Warehouse was offering to order one in for me for AU$170. He said there was zero lag at all, which is important for gaming.

 

DVB-T is Digital TV and I can get a PCMCIA dvb-t hybrid for 130$

 

Not bad.. Which one would that be? I'm really interested in getting one myself now.

Awesome.. I posted a question about that in another post actually, but do you know if there's much/any delay with inputs? I'd hate to try and play a game of DDR or any other beat game and find it hard to time it.

 

because it supports dvb-t id say their would be less lag as dvb-t moves alot more data faster.

 

how does this thing work? so i can receive regular analog channels in my area but what about the digital ones? how do the ones are need to be paid work?

 

There are free to air digital channels in Australia at the moment actually, but the rest you'd have to pay for I guess..

 

so is it basically what can watch on tv for free, i can watch with this card?

 

If your a Aussie you can use this card to watch Digital tv and analoge tv, digital tv is exactly the same as analogue but much higher quality, surround sound, subtitles, different audio tracks, and you get 2 new channels SBS2 and ABC2 there are a few other news channels aswell i think. I want a dvb-t card cause i have one in my desktop and the quality is brilliant and in a year or two the government will be turning off the analoge signal

 

Ok, but what about us folks in the US? I see every type of thing on eBay, but I am concerned about wasting money on imports that don't do what they say they will.

Any ideas?

 

Im not sure what digital standard you guys use, its dvb-t in australia NZ and the UK

 

I ended up getting that AverMedia hybrid that was suggested, and the digital tv is awesomely clear, but the video input is a bit blurry and has plenty of artifacts (both on coaxial and s-video input). Still, it's great for the price I paid..
