    What's your budget?
    Do you want an internal or external tuner?
    What do you want to be able to do?
    For example, record and watch TV or just watch or record?  Digital or analog?

      alligatorman... Perhaps, you could indicate if the existing vid card is onboard or plugs into a slot .
      If it's a plug in card ...... is it a pci , agp or pci express

      If for some reason a additional slot is required.....what is available ?

      If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.
