I really dont think that exists yet. & if it does I have never seen it or heard of it. I have seen the bigger bay ones like linked abive and they also sell at compUssR but thats it.

I have the Hauppauge WinTV Radio. It works great. I have cable tv connected via coax and satellite connected via s-video. It has a bulit in FM tuner, but no AM.

you won't find it for 3.5 cause it don't exist... 5.25 is what you'll find or go with a TV Tuner card that gets FM... those are your options.

I know Leadtek and Asus make a TV/Radio cards that fit in a PCI slot for around $50 or so. I don't know of any that fit the 3.5 bays though.

I have the same Tuner card that Mega has... everything is done with software there isn't any external box's to tune in the stations or radio. Most of them come with a remote so you can fire up the TV or the Radio while not at the pc which is kind of cool. I bought mine cause i thought i'd listen to the radio more than i did... but i never listened to it much so i took it out and its still for sale lol :D
