HI, If you're talking about a TV tuner card to receive television through your computer, I tried this about a year ago and had little success even though I was using a pretty expensive and powerful tuner card. The fact that you are using FIOS is good, but the default software used with TV tuner cards is not all that accessible. I tried with windows media center but it also wasn't accessible. I tried using the Jaws 13 OCR utility and it did nothing to make WMC accessible. I did not try the CodeFactory offering as it has its limitations too beginning with the cost. I had professional help in trying to make this work, and he too couldn't find a way of making the TV tuner card easily used by a blind person. Oh yeah, we also bought an antenna in an effort to amplify the signal received and it improved the signal but not the accessibility. Please let us know what you fnd and hopefully our collective information will find an accessible solution.

He is installing a tuner card and a cable attached module and I was wondering how well does a setup like this work with JAWS? How accessible are the cards and how difficult are they to setup? Also, how is the audio from the cards, clear or do you have to do something special? Thanks for your help. If you could provide mottle numbers that would be great as well.
