-pops- Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Due to the many variations in TV in different countries, computers from large suppliers are not normally supplied with tuners.Hauppauge are THE people for TV tuners for computers. This is a link to their main website click here. Ensure you enter your own country in the box top, left to find hardware suitable for use where you are.

My graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce Go 7150 graphics which i believe is not great, do you know if this would be able to handle the newer games? And im a bit confused on what one website said saying that you can download drivers to improve the graphics card is this possible? thx again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
