Capture Cards
Video capture cards are used to get the picture from the cable, aerial, or satellite television source into the PC. They decode and capture the video signal from the channel you want to view or record. Most cards include a tuner to capture an specific TV signal (called 'tuner cards'). Video capture cards without tuners do exist, but these are used for security dvr's.
