Please give details (equipment and services) in any of these options. Better, less complicated and / or less expensive solutions are sought. Links product and cost estimates would be appreciated. (TV has cable / satellite, DVD player is a writer, PC Card and USB 2 or Firewire but no TV tuner). 1) Tivo? how to transfer to the laptop? 2) USB TV tuner with Windows Media Center? 3) DVD recorder? 4) Other? If you do something like this, please describe how does. Thank you!

It is best or cheapest way is to buy a TV tuner card for your laptop PCMCIA. Here's an example I found on Ebay now. I bought this exact model and comes with the WinDVR software for recording. I took a list to be complete for it to see what the final cost. http://cgi.ebay.com/TV-Tuner-Cardbus-PCMCIA-Video-Capture-Card-For-Laptop_W0QQitemZ200043689512QQihZ010QQcategoryZ3710QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Once you configure it on your laptop you can set it to record from your TV, Tivo, via an antenna cable, coaxial cable, and composite RCA cables. I do it all the time on my TiVo. There are more things that need to purchase.Hope This helps
