    FM radio program that will use PC tuner card?


    I just installed a tuner card for TV, it also has an FM tuner.
    How can i play the radio?
    It is an Asus MyCinema PS3-110 pci card.

    Everything I keep finding is using online internet radio, not OTA broadcast FM radio.

    I have the vista drivers installed, and they work. I am watching TV on the card at this moment. Then I read a buyer of this card from an Amazon seller says he uses it in win 10 to play FM radio. To do that you need to loop back the audio output using the plug in the back of card to the PC speakers.

    I tried the store and got the 'app', MS says I own the app, but dont have a clue how to use it, reading description mention windows 8 phone OS?
    I dont even know where the app is, did not come in as a download.

    I uploaded pic showing card installed playing TV ATSC with WMC in win 10

    I solved the problem, WMC has a built in radio broadcast program. Under music-radio.

    It works. Without needing to do anything special, no cables etc...

    Sometimes it is so simple.

    Hi there
    @sdowney717

    If you want to play radio on a PC what's wrong is using tunein or various other internet radio programs. Much wider choice than basic FM. !!! (and International too).

    You can also stream internet radio - use a program Logitech Media server (nightly builds here : Free of course as is the player.

    http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.9

    You can also get a player which plays radio (and other audio) on your computer from the media server.

    LMS Clients - Browse /squeezeplay/windows at SourceForge.net

    This has a nice gui and it's easy to add radio stations etc etc

    You don't need any radio tuner card for 1000's of national, local and international radio stations.

    The server :

    The player :

    Nice thing of course about the server is that you can play music on any of your computers with just the client application (squeezeplay) and it will also stream to android devices too.

    There's a player app for androd which works a treat too.

    server can be controlled either via browser (localhost:9000) or with a windows service - just use the browser option.

    pretty well all of them that are "public domain" -- there's zillions and zillions of them. There might be other services for special streams etc that are subscription based but there's more than enough free content via Internet radio often at quite decent transmission rates -- some of the HD classical music stations have 320 kbs which is good enough even for quite discerning audiophiles -- your speakes / audio equipment is much more likely to be of a lwer quality !!.
