I am so confused.

Heres the sitution:
I wanna watch tv through my computer.

Would I need to buy high end video card and a tv tunner card to watch it ?

Or could i just buy a low end video card and buy a tv tunner card and watch tv?

I don't feel like shelling out money for those "All in Wonders" =\

Currently have AMD processor

so ur saying it doesn't really matter what video card i have, the quality of the tv picture will not make a big different on what video card i have?

so what would you recommend i get w/ this $130 bucks i have ;(

currently using an extremely old generic ati card build in 1997 lo... :(

Well unless you want to get spendy most tuners are fine and not great. I have 9200 with a WinTV I bought for $50 and its good enough. To get a noticible differnce the better of tuners I saw were around $150 which was not worth the extra money to me anyway...
