But, there are still users out there who either already have these devices, or who have a need for these devices. Most likely due to the explosion of online streaming platforms, computer-based (particularly USB based) TV tuners are a bit harder to find these days. Keep in mind that my "frame of reference" is using the ATSC broadcast standard, since I'm in the U.S., so I'm quite unfamiliar with other broadcast standards. I'll attempt to point out the differences the best that I can. If I'm not mistaken, most of Europe uses DVB as the broadcast format for their HD broadcasts.Įven if you are in an area that uses a different format, the process will be similar to discover the frequencies necessary to make the USB tuner "spring to life" under VLC. The broadcast format will be different for different areas around the world. Ironically, while this specific tuner is no longer made/available, it's a trivial task to find a picture of the item on various retailer websites. In the U.S., ATSC is the format for the over-the-air (OTA) HD broadcasts. I have an older (as in, no longer manufactured) USB TV tuner that is capable of receiving ATSC broadcasts.
