Scott, I've got a Gateway 2000 but my tuner card was added after purchase. I picked up a STB TV/PCI card for $89 at Best Buy. It works virtually flawlessly with any S3 video chip. I pipe in camcorder, C/Ku band satellite and use the tuner occasionally for local broadcast TV stuff. THE STB TV/PCI comes with Win95 software but I have found the FXTV FreeBSD version to be just as good. -- Al Scott Nelson wrote: > > I am in the process of deciding what kind of computer to buy and what > features I need.
