I have used an external tv tuner card and it is better as per my view as it can start by just turning on the monitor even if the cpu is powered down
I am using external tuner card. There is an option to change the resolution, so i have kept 1280x1024 and my system resolution is 1440x900 as it best suits for 19'' LCD. Now when I change resolution in my tv tuner its cnhanging my system resolution also changes. And it happens even if I dont not turn on my system when i use TV. Is there any way to prevent this.
