Hi everybody!

I found an old PPC 5200/75 LC in the trash. Comes with an Ethernet card, good for cable and I upgraded the RAM to the max - 64 MB - It works just fine!
It has a LC PDS slot for a TV Tuner card and I am looking for such a card. After an extensive research on the net it seems impossible to find. Do you know where I could find one ?
Thanx a lot for your help.

There are a bunch of them on eBay. Go into the Computers section then into the Apple section and serch it for "TV". You'll find a bunch of them.

You need the A/V input card too, or you can't use the TV card. There are indeed a bunch on ebay. The TV card comes with remote, too. Macresq used to have some of the remotes, a few months ago. Your 5200 will also use an MPEG card, which gives accelerated playback of MPEG movies (Video CDs). Otherwise, the MPEG card is pretty much useless, but the A/V in card and the TV card rock. I've got one in my 5400, and it's nice.
He can be fixed -- you can't.
