The first tuner card I owned worked after a fashion with Windows 95. It crashed daily and had frequent driver conflicts, but when it worked, cable looked as great as television ever looks on a 17-inch CRT.

Er, was it 1998, by any chance, Ed?
In the OS Win 98, although I can’t say for certain if there was an add-on for 95.
I had a TV Tuner built into te short lived Toshiba series desktop called “Infinia” that I owned in 1996 or 199, that shipped with Win95. So I definitely know there were applications on that machine that supported the card including a guide and recording to an .avi file, if I am recalling correctly.
I definitely remember having fun with doing screen captures from Cartoons for my kids
I was looking for exactly the same question/answer myself when I stumbled across your site. Thanks for the link too, makes searching further not necessary although one comment mentions 1996 – can that be right?
