Digital Tv: Double Up Its Purpose As A Tv And A Computer Monitor

But in 2009, a law was implemented for TV broadcasting companies to start sending a digital instead of an analog signal

. This means a better TV reception for the typical households.

How to Use Your Computer Monitor as a Digital TV

Now, if almost all of the TV sets in the average American home are already experiencing the benefits of the digital TV broadcasting, what about computer monitors? Believe it or not, theres actually more use of your computer monitor than being a screen where you can check your e-mail and update your social networking accounts status. There are steps that you can follow in order to use your computer monitor as a digital TV which we will enumerate here:

Use the first method of receiving a digital TV signal on your computer monitor with the help of an internal radio/TV card.

Basically, there are two ways in which you can convert your computer monitor into a digital TV. First, buy an internal radio/TV card which is available at very cheap prices in electronics shops. If you want to buy an internal TV card which will be able to receive satellite TV signals, you should buy a card which supports DVB-S. If you want the computer to receive just the regular cable signals, buy a card which says DVB-C on the label.

Go for the second option which includes the installation of a USB stick.

Your second option to convert your computer monitor into a digital TV is via a USB stick. It works just like the internal TV card mentioned in the previous example. The only difference is that you can easily remove the USB stick if you have no need of it anymore, unlike with the internal TV card which will be a permanent part of the board of your computer.

Make sure that the internal card you are using had audio/video decoding support.

If youre not that tech-savvy, ask a friend or a technician who knows whether the internal card that you are buying has audio/video decoding support or not. This is an important feature because some internal TV cards and USB sticks do not have a hardware decoder which is something that you need if you want to make the system work.

Make the system work with the help of a remote control.

Finally, make sure that the system is working with the help of a remote control after you are done converting your computer monitor into a digital TV set. By performing these steps, you will not just simply enjoy the numerous benefits of watching a digital TV, but you will also be to use other features. You can record the program on one channel while watching another program on a different channel and make use of other interactive features to fully optimize the use of your computer/digital TV monitor.
