Default computer in the shop

That was my point, now I can just pipe my cable signal into my computer and
use that to record my shows. I don't know how much TiVO runs, but the
set-up I'm using can be had for about $50 (TV tuner card) and included
software. Electronic programming guides can be found online for free
(www.titantv.com). Plus, there's no monthly fees (something I'm assuming
TiVO has, but I'm not sure). I can then burn the shows onto CDs or DVDs (if
I want particularly high quality) and watch them on my TV via the DVD
player. Or, just watch them on the computer. I think it kicks butt.


I've been doing that very thing since 1996, when a decent video
capture card cost $800. Guess what that card is worth now...
I DO have the complete NYW on disk, however... g
