I was looking at the Panasonic digital video recorder with DVD burner since I'm getting sick of rewinding and fast-forwarding through tapes. Then I saw the fricking price of these things and was turned off by it.

Well today I was browsing through the computer section at Circuit City and saw video card where you can hook up your coaxial cable to your computer and record/program to record TV shows. Card was only $100.

I have an extra computer case with harddrive and memory, extra monitor. What else would I need? Would the quality of the shows be good if we watched them off the computer's harddrive? Computer flat screens are cheaper than LCD TVs.
