Im broke as poo poo right now. I cant afford to get a streaming service like Hulu or Netflix, and frankly, broadcast tv is fine for me. I got a budget of about 30$ to work with, can you recommend me an internal TV tuner card or usb device that would turn my computer into a tv so i can watch the free poo poo broadcast locally?

That's not much of a budget, but eBay has your back. *Not an endorsement of that particular tuner stick, its included software, or the seller.

I got a WinTV-HVR-950Q off eBay for pretty cheaply (I think under $20), I'm pretty happy with it. You'll probably have to spend $30 or so for an antenna though, if you don't already have one. I think it comes with one, but it's kind of a joke.

There are all sorts of DIY antenna plans out there to fit every budget, gain requirement, and skill level. Here's a video showing how to make a high gain TV antenna out of coat hangers and a piece of wood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWQhlmJTMzw

Jeez I was expecting to pay $45-65 for my next USB TV Stick. I'm going to give that off-brand ebay stick a try. Thanks!

Netflix is 8 dollars a month. Youd put up with broadcast TV for 4 months to break even?
