A TV tuner is missing. I can't find a good TV tuner for my laptop. It has a DVD player. I could 86 my TV if there was a good TV tuner out there for a laptop.

Oh boy!!
You just opened yourself up for some abuse. Many sailors on this board feel there is no place for entertainment devices such as TVs on board other then a radio or cd player. I happen to agree with them. Get a good book. Even when I was a kid I didn't have a TV to watch and usually picked up a book as a result. Or enjoy the company of your crew with discussions and/or stories. Toi answer your question, I don't know of a tuner for a laptop. Check ebay. Tim Reilley Portland, Maine

Flat panel monitor with tuner !!!
Jim: Rather than a tuner for your PC you could go with a Flat Panel Monitor with a tuner. Samsung 150MP fits the bill.

Found one
PCMCIA tuner cards are surprisingly hard to come by. This is the only one I found: http://www.cfoutlet.com/750511.html or, if you have a USB port, try this: http://www.compuplus.com/insidepage.php3?sid=5fd70y5u81rwpe4&id=1000461 Hope this helps!! Keith

While the rain is washing the salt off the boat, it can't get any better than this. Hapugaue (sp) makes USB tv tuner for around $75-80, works like a charm. Also, use a laptop it serves as a DVD/TV and be used for other chart plotting duties. A flat screen is useful for one thing. Jim S/V Java

Thanks for all the GREAT Ideas
I would never leave home without my TV! I like nothing better they sailing all day to a new location and seeing what TV stations we can pick up. It's almost as fun as getting there.
