This is all I believe I will need from this tuner card:
1) Right now I'm on an internship and the house I'm in has analog cable, so I would need to just run coax from the wall to the card (I think any tuner should be able to do this?)
2) When I get back to school, we have digital cable (and HD services), so I would like to be able to take advantage of that - if I understand correctly, I need a card that supports QAM? I would also want to just run the coax cable from the wall to the card in this setup.
So, is this the kind of card I'm looking for? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815100021
Any other ones you'd recommend? I just need something pretty basic, so I'm not looking to spend a lot of $$. Thanks!
Edit: One more question, how much better would the picture be in #2? Cause I could just go with a real basic tuner rather than pay extra for something better
