(Done. -PZ)

(Buy a large brick and hot yourself in the head with it. -PZ)

(You need to find out just what that means. Does the PC already have a tuner inside or is it just an option? If it's an option you can either get that or an external tuner. One or the other.-PZ)

(Yes, purchase the Which tuner. Or read the answer next time please. -PZ)

(Any card you like. Now read the answer above. -PZ)

To overcome these problems, a more modern laptop is duly 'required'. (Modding an old laptop so that hopefully you think you can do it all..'on the cheap'!, forget it, because you WILL be just creating even more head-aches...for yourself. And, for anybody you try getting to help you fix the problem you have so stubbornly created.)

(Please read the answer again. It doesn;t matter what your computer is. -PZ))

(Visit a local shop. I don't know what you need in Bangladesh. -PZ)

(Yes, the "Which" brand would suit you best. And remember that Who's on first. -PZ)

(Yes. But the range depends on which country you live in. -PZ)

(Ask at a local shop. We don't know anything about Indian TV broadcasting Santosh.

(Get one called Brenton or at least Charles. Or read the answer. No you don;lt need 'Net access. You nneed an external antenna. -PZ)

(Too much TV and not enough readcing. Try that first Harry. -PZ)

(Visit a reputable computer store and ask their advice for your country. But you can do it with a cheaper, video-to-USB adaptor. -PZ)

(A. Buy a USB TV tuner B. Buy the same or anm internal TV tuner card. -PZ)

Is an internal one preferable to the external one?

Does the use of tuners adversely affect the laptop & its performance?

I am in the West Indies but have relatives in the USA.

(READ THE ANSWER. READ THE ANSWER READ THE ANSWER. -PXZ)

(Any locally bought USB TV tuner should work on your Dell Daz. The small, supplied aerial will work well if you're very near the TV transmitter and won;t work at all if you're far away of in a bad signal area. It's no different to a portable TV. Ariel is the mermaid in the cartoon. -PZ)

(Yes, it's called a TV set. Otherwise of course you have to start the PC. -PZ)

(I can't see your computer very well from here Amit. Perha-ps you should take it to a computer repair shop for advice. -PZ)

(Ask at a local shop Shafeer. We don;t know what your TV system is. -PZ)

Please Any one tell that Which TV-Tuner Card will be best for this work

(You need an Origami Bluetooth Elephant Sesam bun version. -PZ)

Thank You!

(The Toshiba A200 tuna, though watch out for the bones. -PZ)

(What does the instruiction sheet with the tuiner say? -PZ)

(Go to a reputable local electronics store and seek advice. We're in Australia and can't really advise. -PZ)

(Take the PC to the shop and ask the question there. -PZ)

(As long as the laptiop has a USB port it should be fine Krishna. But as always I'd ask around at your local shops and ask to see the tuner running as this is a "local" thing. -PZ)

(Congratulations. -PZ)

(Read the answers in here Manish. I don't even kniow which country you're in. -PZ)

(I don't know which country you're in so I don't know what's available. Ask for advice at a few computer stores. -PZ)

(Sorry for the confusion. Tuners shouldn't need a particularly fast PC. All of the hard work is done in the tuner itself. The PC's job is to display the picture - and do the recording if that's what you want. Not all USB tuners come with Mac drivers but as long as you're using Windows you should be fine. I'd buy on brand name, price and features and then return it if it doesn't "deliver". If you go to a large store you may even be able to try before you buy. -PZ)

(Yes. Any kind you like. Internal PCi or external USB. -PZ)

(Hi. I don't know the brand but my guess is that most of these devices will have similar performance. But remember that this is a very poor way to achieve what you want. The quality of the picture will be low - much better that you buy an inexpensive LCD TV for the PS2. Please believe me - this is a BAD idea. -PZ)

(The tuner you get depends on the country you live in. And yes, you will need some sort of external antenna. But the size and height depends on where you are. Ask for advice at a local computer shop. -PZ)

(I guess you mean are there USB tuners that receive analogue signals? Yes there are. -PZ)

(Why, is it bad? -PZ)

(I wouldn't bother. The quality of the PS2 picture will be quite low. Get a second hand TV instead. -PZ)

(They should all be compatible. Just ask before you buy it. -PZ)

(The type of tuner has little to do with the type of PC. It has everything to do with what's sold and supported for your location. Ask local dealers. -PZ)

(Since you're in Australia, at the moment you'd need a combination digital and analog tuner. That's because some areas might not be digital yet. But just about any sort of tuner would do you. You mauy as well get HD as it's the coming thing. Have fun. -PZ)

(Basically you can only do that in a high signal area. Otehrwise you'll need the same sort of antenna as you home TV has. I guess you're in the US, so I'd suggest Radio Shack. Take your tuner with you. -PZ)

(Okay. There wouldn't be a built-in TV antenna in that PC. If you do buy a USB tuner it will either need its own small antenna or a cable to a good rooftop antenna, depending on where you are. As for the picture quality, digital-TV tuners either work or they don't. That is, if there's enough signal picked up by the antenna they give a picture, otherwise it breaks up and drops out. Any of the models at Dick Smiths should be good, and anyway they'll refund your money if you aren't satisfied. -PZ)

(If it has USB and a screen, it's probably compatible. What you get depends on what country you're in. -PZ)

(I can think of a few possibilities. It was analog only. It was an empty box only. It was a real bargain. -Paul Zucker)

(Yes Jacqui. There are plenty around. They plug into the USB port. I noticed that www.zazz.com.au had one a few days ago, but they're gone now. Many of them have a small telescopic antenna, bit unless you're quite near to the transmitter, this won't give a reliable picture. And forget being able to use it on the move, such as in a train. -Paul Zucker)

(Only if you're going in circles under the TV tower Pat. TV signals are a lot fussier to receive than radio. -Paul Zucker)
