Is a tv tuner all I need?

Question

I want to buy the HP ExpressCard TV Tuner for my laptop. I have a HP pavilion dv6605us with Windows Vista. I do have cable tv and if I get this will I be able to watch and/or record ANY of the channels on cable, and do I need to buy anything extra for it?

Answer 1

With this tuner, you will be able to view and record unencrypted analog cable channels. You will not be able to view or record any cable digital channels including HDTV. In order to use it properly, you will need a high speed internet connection.
