- @unixrab Why is your computer dumber than your TV? The variety of things your computer can do is infinite... minus one thing. One very common, even mundane thing that a totally dumb, analog piece of technology could do back in the Truman administration: receive and display TV signals. Silly, isn't it? While we're waiting for that big convergence where there will no longer be separate things called "TV" and "cable" and "streaming video" and "pay-per-view" and "watch on demand" and "renting a movie", just eyeballs and screens - while we're waiting for that, your computer remains blind and deaf to the simplest video programming of all. Why would you want to watch over-the-air TV on a computer? That's the wrong question. What you should be asking is, why shouldn't you be able to? It won't cost you much to give it a shot with this Dell/Hauppage USB TV tuner. You plug it into an open USB port, connect an over-the-air digital TV antenna (not included but cheap and easy to find), and your computer instantly gets smarter. The included WinTV application lets you watch and record TV on a Windows computer. Then, when your TV is all caught up to that big hunk of glowing furniture that left a permanent rectangle imprinted in your great-grandma's living room carpet, we can figure out a way to turn your computer in a microwave. Mmm, burritos.
