Computer TV tuner/living in remote area?

Okay, so I'll admit I don't understand a whole lot about TV tuners, but I want to buy one for my laptop - I want to record some of my favorite shows.





I live in a kind of remote area - I can only get dial-up internet and we just have basic TV stations from a roof antenna. Will this affect my ability to get TV reception for my computer at all?





(Sorry for being so ignorant about this topic!)

You're only going to get the stations that you pull in from roof antenna - it's not like suddenly you're gonna get free HBO.





Dial-up doesn't matter
Reply:Unfortunately, with only dial-up connection you will be quite disappointed in the quality of the video you get..... your machine will be constantly buffering the video... so you will see a few seconds worth....then it will buffer some more...and you will see that, then it stops to buffer some more.....





All in all it will be a very jerky, on again/off again reception and you will be very tired of it....... to get and view video you really need to have broadband connection.... cable, DSL, satellite, or cellular broadband..........





Sorry, just don't want you to be disappointed.......... %26lt;bummer%26gt;
Reply:ok, remote area and dial up only, I would say you want to get streeming video and I don't think it will work great with dial up. I used a tv card and if I tried to (download) to pc, it would be a bad picture and shutter. (frozzzze). The main problem will be the dial up SPEED. Live feed requires fast systems and connection speeds.
