Watch and Record Live TV Via a Computer With a USB-Connected Tuner Card

While the internet makes it easy to stream television and movies, there are still many channels that are not accessible through a streaming platform. Broadcast channels and programming options only available via a cable subscription are more difficult to access. A USB-based MTSC-M TV tuner card allows you to transfer a live video stream and its accompanying audio to a computer for viewing or recording.

Is it complicated to install a USB television tuner card?

A tuner device that connects via a USB port is simple to install and use. To begin, you only need to plug the device into your computer and wait for the central processing unit (CPU) to recognize it. Once this is completed, you will be presented with the choice of using a preloaded driver or supplying one via a file location or CD-ROM. Once the driver is activated, the device is ready to capture video and audio.

Which connections are compatible with a USB TV tuner card?

A USB television tuner card is compatible with a variety of connections for broadcasts in a standard NTSC-M color configuration.

  • Component video connection: A component video connection usually consists of three individual connectors, one for video and two for the left and right audio channels.
  • HDMI cable: An HDMI cable is one of the most popular options since it can broadcast high-definition TV signals and will work with a USB-connected television tuner.
  • Coaxial connection: A coaxial cable is used to connect directly to a cable box; it should only be used for standard analog or digital content.
  • S-video: S-video connections are not as frequently used, but they can work with a USB-based tuner card as long as the audio content isn't needed during the transfer.

What format options are available when recording programming?

The file types that are available for recording are dependent on the software used. The most widely used are Flash Video Format (FLV), Moving Pictures Expert Group 4 (MP4), and Audio Video Interleave (AVI). If the desired format is not readily available, it is usually easy to convert it to the desired extension.

Is a USB TV tuner card compatible with an over-the-air antenna?

Most aerial antennas connect to a device through the use of a standard coaxial cable. If a television tuner is equipped with a female coax end, then the tuner is capable of receiving a signal from an over-the-air broadcast. It is important to note that the strength of the signal will dictate the overall quality of the video and audio captured.
