Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I am planning on moving to an apartment using my PC as my entertainment center. Using my TV I would like to hook up my Wii and an HDTV tuner. I am assuming that I would need a specific video card to do this. What video card (or features in one) would I need? How can I get the HDTV signal (what type of tuner should I get?) to play on my monitor (my monitor is capable of displaying a HD signal).

The cheapest way to record TV shows with your PC is to use a TV tuner–either an internal PCI card or an external USB box.

TV Tuners for Your PC

Whether you should spend the additional money needed to purchase an HDTV tuner card depends less on the card itself than on your TV reception. Complete article here:

You really don’t want to connect your game console to a TV tuner. It will work…but the TV tuner introduces about a second delay between what your console is doing and what is displayed on the screen. It’s not much, but can cause Mario to fall off a ledge before you’ll be aware of what’s going on.

Realistically, you’re going to want a monitor that has these HD inputs. However these can cost more than a separate HDTV.
