Didn't they go bankrupt or something? They've been slowly going out of business since the 90's.

I bought my TV Tuner at CompUSA, and the store near me closed down about a month later.

Are all CompUSA stores closed?

No. Many closed down, but many still survive.

Radio Shack sells the tuner i'm seeking for and its a mile away from me so i might check there.

No they don't, and they're usually more expensive.

No. The closest one is in Towson (north of Baltimore).
