I have one of these cards in my computer. I would connect the TV cable to the card, record the TV show to a MPEG file, edit it using the free software that came with the card, and then burn it using the DVD burner in my PC.

Unfortunately, the card tuner can only handle "basic" cable, and since we upgraded to digital cable, we either have to split the cable coming out the box (in which case the computer can only record what we're watching on the TV) or we need a separate cable box for the card (which costs extra money). But, it does work well for recording from a video tape to a digitized file, or for recording basic TV.

Wow...vey cool. So...when would be a good time for us to order that and have you and Rose come help with the install. :-) It looks great. Can you use it to “tivo” and watch on the tv too, or only on the computer?
