    I used to have a computer that on the back of the tv tuner the inputs would look like this - - [​IMG]

    On my new computer it came with a type of tv tuner that has different inputs on the back and it looks like this - [​IMG]

    The names of each input on the picture above starting from left to right says -
    audio input R and L/ s-video / DTV ANT / TV cable ANT / FM ANT

    I wanted to know which of those tv tuners has the better inputs on the back ?

    I think you mean HDTV or SDTV instead of DTV ANT.
    Can you give us more infor about the TV tuners like the manufacture and model?

    I'm going to guess that DTV ANT is referring to either ATSC or DVB-T, or terrestrial digital TV.

    As such, your second tuner is the better... the first one appears to be analogue.
