What I need seems so simple but I can't find it. I'm looking for a NTSC, PCI TV Tuner card with a software interface (that runs on Win2k/XP) with the controls looking like a TV remote control (tall and narrow with number buttons and a display of the channel #) instead of like a wide VCR or alien spaceship looking shape.
It need not be a fancy card. It doesn't have to be Windows MCE compatible, doesn't have to even be able to capture or record TV, it doesn't even need to come with a separate physical remote control (which wouldn't be usable for my purpose) it just needs to tune cable TV channels with a coax input and have a very user friendly shaped remote control that looks like an old fashioned TV remote control with number buttons, channel up/down buttons, and volume up/down buttons.
I have a stack of tuner cards and none have this kind of remote-control looking software interface which is really important. This is for my father who is very ill and can't do much of anything anymore, watching TV is all he's got and he insists on being at a computer. Please help, thank you.
If you know of a better forum in which to seek this, that would also be appreciated. Thanks.
