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.

So why do you waste bandwidth trying to be the news group cop? There's one
of you guys in every one of these new groups.
