Justin,
I have ta 6500/250 and I purchased the TV/FM card from Shreve Systems. It
came complete. I didn't have to purchase anything else. I just hooked up the
TV cable and connected the included FM antenna and voila! Mine came with the
software CD, so make sure you are getting that with it from eBay.
My 6500 did not have a Video-in card as mentioned in the TIL article, so you
shouldn't need one. (I did add one later, though so that I could import
video from my camcorder and hook up a VCR to the computer to watch a movie
while I work.) The cable TV reception isn't as good as it is on a regular
TV, I should tell you, but it is convenient to be able to watch "the game",
etc., in the corner of your screen while you work. FM radio reception was
so-so, but that could just be my area.
Cheers,
John
