How would i setup my computer with over the air high definition broadcasts?

Question

i want to setup my computer so that i can watch TV via media center with an antenna that picks up over the air high def channels. what would i need to buy to do this?

Answer 1

you need to buy an ATSC tuner card such as the ATI HDTV Wonder

Answer 2

Sure ... can be done, however, the performance level of the end result will be far from satisfactory.

It may work fine for an hour at a time yet " IT WILL " lag or stutter or skip or any variation of these often enough to have you yank out the components & toss them out the window.

Here is my point : Have you ever seen ANYWHERE a mainstream PC accessory that CLAIMS TO OFFER wireless video streaming ? No ... you haven't, have you ?

Reason :
BECAUSE IT HAS NOT BEEN PERFECTED YET !!!!!!!!!

whatever .... try if you wish & see for yourself.
