Answer 2

Hi, you need a PCTV card, I recommend a Pinnacle PCTV PCI, is one of the best cards I know and use.  It let you record from your TV (cable or antenna), schedule your programs to be recorded automatically or just push one button to start recording and for a plus it has its own remote control.

And of course if you don't want to spend a lot of money you always can buy any PCTV PCI card for less (if this is the case i recommend dlink).
