You will need a PC TV Tuner Card ($50-$150 each) I use windows media center edition to setup what times to record shows etc.
Can u leave the machine for it to record weekly or daily, without having to start recording manually?
u think the haupage is a good card?
Windows Media Center will schedule and record when you setup the guide. I used to setup mine as if it was directtv in NY (since most of my cable stations were fron NY) and direct tv usually has most if not all channels in their guide. So I set it up and go through manually and remove the ones I dont have and keep the ones I do and arrange them in the right order. It takes time but you only have to do it once.
Re what card to get, ATI has some new cards that are good, BUT, you could always get Flow and a premium set top box and you will be able to record 2 channels at once while watching something that you previously recorded plus pause live tv etc
It all depends on how you hook it up. Most cable companies that OFFER digital will encrypt the content so the only way to hook it up will be s-video or composite for video and Stereo RCA for audio so digital 5.1 surround is out of the question regardless of what card you use
