Greeting all, I just purchased a portable DVD player which is capable of
video/audio input and can display TV broadcasts. Now I need a small
portable TV tuner to be able to watch TV on it. Some have suggested to use
the tuner inside an old VCR but I need something small and portable and I
would think that the tuner components are spread out on the circuit board
making it impractable unless I'm mistaken.

Some have also suggested that I use a TV PC card for computer. This would
be ideal because it's small and cheap but is this possible or practable?
One problem I see is that there is no video/audio out on these cards so how
would I get the video/audio signal out to my DVD player? The other problem
is how to power it. Which contacts on a PCI card are for power in? Any
help on this will be greatly appreciated.


So why didn't you stick with the original thread, in the newsgroup you
originally posted to, instead of bringing it to a newsgroup about repair?

This is not a repair issue. And since you are trying to follow up a
comment from someone else somewhere else, you should have stayed there
and asked in the original thread.
