Take note of that picture, there's no slot for a smart card.Īs it stands now, there is no way of connecting any kind of tuner device to computer. They also required smart cards to operate. Digital satellite on Ku-band required a much smaller dish, but since they were all specific to one vendor, you couldn't switch. North America only has clear channels on C-Band, which required a 15' satellite dish. (DVB-T/DVB-S) Because in Euro areas, DVB-S was actually the satellite standard, where as in North America, it was again, competing proprietary standards. In areas that have DTH (Digital satellite) services, those required expensive tuner boxes, not unlike cable boxes, and the device you've linked to there is actually one of those. It also didn't help that Windows XP MCE didn't support it in later versions. The last tuner device I had, in 2004, could only receive in-the-clear cable/antenna, which meant no ability to receive anything. In the US (and the US alone) cable card was mandated, thus making it impossible to produce a tuner in any shape to accept domestic cable services. What happened was that Analog TV was phased out. So what happened to PC TV cards? why did they die? I remember that back in 2007~2011 PC TV Cards EXPLODED in popularity (in Egypt) and everybody had them for their PCs to be able to run TV on their PCs, then PC TV cards started falling in popularity till they died in 2015, My question is, why are PC TV Cards dead now? the PC TV cards that are still being sold are REALLY expensive for what they are because they're now rare, And for people that don't know what PC TV Cards are, they are pretty much cards that go in PCI or AGP slots which then you connect to your satellite dish's cable then install a special type of program that uses the card to make you able to watch TV on your PC (e.g: Ulead TVR) turbocharged, supercharged and electrified. 2021 Volvo S60 Recharge T8 Polestar Engineered - 415hp/495tq 2.0L 4cyl.
