Easier than ever to tune into TV on a PC

By

TV tuners for PCs have been around for more than a decade, but until recently they have been of questionable use. Here in the near future many of the wide screen LCD monitors that we all use at home and work might double as inexpensive TV sets thanks to a TV tuner card and software that comes in Microsoft Vista Home Premium.

High-definition TV is yet another breakthrough, making it possible to use a PC equipped with a tuner and an LCD computer monitor to watch HDTV. Finally, millions of people are about to get TV software on their PCs without even necessarily knowing it. Windows Vista Home Premium edition, which will be on most consumer PCs starting Jan. 30, will come with Windows Media Center, which is all the software you’ll need to watch and record TV.
