I am wanting to get a TV Tuner and was wondering if:

* AMD Sempron 2800+ 2.0Ghz with 512mb RAM is enough
* Do I need a graphics card or does it come with one?
* What would be the recommended Brand or Model to get?

NOTE: Please do not include prices, where to purchase, etc because I live in Australia.

Take a look at this lot...

It looks like you should be OK for some of the kit available. These adaptors use the graphics facilities in your PC.

As for make - you'd need to get one that suited Australian TV transmission specs, so you'd probably need to buy local, anyway, although the high end cards do, I think, support multi-national standards.

Best of luck.
