[nitins60]

Hello people,I want to watch TV in my laptop. I have DTH Connection. Airtel DTH and I am planning to get Airtel HD DTH also.My laptop config:15.4" 1080p (Fullscreen HD). It's Sony VAIO, which has HDMI port too.Powerful 1GB ATI 5650 GFx card.I want to get a DTH Connection and an external tv tuner card to connect to laptop.Please suggest me the Best Tv Tuner card. Cost is not problem. Any idea, can i use 5.1 speakers for that card/DTH?

I have read many times in Tech mags - Pinnacle is the best, especially if cost is not a problem. Ultimately whichever u buy, try to see whether Cards with "HDMI In" support are available or not. I am not in a position to answer all your issues, coz i have used TV Tuner years back, that too, for very less times.

U have to be patient.At times there are people who suggest so much, that threads run into pages......but sometimes it needs time to take momentum. Wait for a while - help will be assured!!
