Re: Digital HDTV Cards for the PC

The setup I am shooting for is a pc/tv media center. It can be used as a
pc, wireless keyboard, etc. but also used for tv and recording shows.

As for the monitor, I was thinking of a 21 or 22 inch pc lcd monitor. That
may not sound big but the tv I have been watching for years, the glass part
is only 19 inches diagonally (for tube tvs, manufacturers advertise the size
and include the frame around the glass, not just the glass). The picture
seems larger because the whole tv is larger. Our other tv is an lcd and
some of the shows have black bars on each side. Wifey says the picture is
small and she likes the other, tube tv, however, even with the black bars,
the picture is still 21 inches diagonally, larger than the tube tv.

I agree there is no sensible package out there, so, I am researching it
before I buy anything.
