    Well I'm basically looking for an internal TV tuner card rather than an external one.

    Well we recieve signals via cable and I think they are analogue...so I need a TV-card that can handle analogue signals.

    We do recieve digital signals also, but they go through a decoder and then via HDMI to our HD-TV.

    How are the quality of these cards? Is the picture good? I plan on doing some capturing, so if anybody has a TV-tuner in their laptop, let me know what quality I can expect

    my AverMedia TV-Tuner has not failed on me yet for over 3 years.

    But I barely watch any TV on it anymore.

    Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. I assume that the M570ETU is equipped with MINI PCIe connectors?
