Since most cable signals are encrypted in the US, you’ll need a TV tuner that supports a CableCARD. The SiliconDust HDHomeRun Prime ($130) comes highly recommended for this purpose. If You Have CableĬable TV is a bit more complex. If you’re using a laptop, you’ll probably need to use Hauppauge’s USB tuner ($65) instead. These install into your PC just like any other expansion card (like a video card), so it should be a five minute task. If you want to record two shows at once, or watch one show while recording another, you’ll want the WinTV-HVR-2255 dual tuner ($112 for the boxed version, $99 for the OEM version that doesn’t include the software). You don’t need the software, but it can be helpful if you’re running Windows 8 or 10, as you’ll see later in the guide. Grab the WinTV-HVR-1265 ($70) for a good cheap option that can record one show at a time. If you’re just watching broadcast TV from an antenna, we’ve had good experience with Hauppauge’s line of PCI tuners.
