  TV tuner card - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A TV tuner card is a computer component that allows television signals to be received by a computer.
External tuners may convert the signal into either a video stream suitable for display on the screen, or to an intermediate format such as MPEG; in either case, the CPU is needed to direct the image onto the screen.
TV tuners supporting digital television broadcasts eventually became available; a tuner displaying an HDTV image on a computer monitor is typically much cheaper than a dedicated high-definition television system, but with a smaller physical screen.

 Welcome to AnandTech.com [ Article: TV Tuner Video Card Roundup]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Add-in TV tuner cards that allow for cable input into a computer have been around for some time now, however these proprietary cards are quickly being replaced by video cards that combine computer display and TV input on one card.
A TV tuner for a computer does essentially the same thing that the tuner inside your television does: takes the signal sent to you via a RG59 cable or though the air and converts it into a image that can be displayed onto your computer display.
The card is identical to the non-TV version, as both contain the same G450 chip, 32MB of DDR memory, and the ability to "dual head" to a TV (not to a second monitor, however).

 TV tuner card showdown - CNET reviews
We looked at several TV tuner cards from different manufacturers, and the image quality from all of them was noticeably inferior to connecting a cable or satellite box directly to a TV.
The card was the only one we reviewed to carry ISF certification from the Imaging Science Research Labs group, an organization that promotes high-quality standards in graphics and multimedia technology.
With these TV tuners, you have the choice of using either the bundled DVR software or Microsoft's Media Center OS, should you have a Media Center PC (some low-end Media Centers such as the eMachines T6524 ship without a TV tuner).

 TV tuner card - Gentoo Linux Wiki
Here I would like to see generic instructions on how to set up a TV tuner card in Gentoo as most howtos seem either outdated or not adapted to Gentoo.
Installing a TV board in Gentoo is quite simple, all you really need to do is activate the correct kernel parameters and emerge some software and it should "just work".
With a PCI card, you would see references to the board by typing "lspci" as root, this is also very useful in determining the correct driver.

Quite true except that the ATI's 550 cards have problems when used with PVR apps that aren't MCE (ATI only supports problems in MCE, currently there are a few "odd" problems with the cards that don't happen with MCE).
Personally I would wait for CES in early January, NV is suppose to launch their replace tuner which seems to stack up with the 550 cards quite well with a few extra features like hardware encoding of MPEG-4.
Most video cards today have VIVO, there is no delay using the video in on your video card.......Not sure why folks try going through the tuner card.

yeah, I saw that card, the problem I had with it was that it only had a 125 channel tuner on it, and the cable where I live has like 500+ channels.
Stick with the all-in-wonder, but purchase a subscription to digital cable if you want to record it (tune your card to channel 3 or 4 and then use the tuner to watch digital channels).
The biggest reason that there are no digital TV tuners sold is that the digital TV standard is encrypted, and the encryption algorythm constantly changes, so only the cable company's tuners know how to decrypt them.

A while back, I asked about a cable that came with my video card and was told that it was a VIVO cable of some sort that I couldn't use to hook cable TV and whatnot up to my monitor.
I use sageTV and its very simple to record TV from your dish by just using an S-video cable to connect your satelite reciever box to the s-video connection on the tuner card, and then set up the capture card properties in sagetv as appropriate.
The Tv tuner will take in the video signal from cable/antenna/or satelite and then it comes out to your TV via your video card.
