Had a lightning storm last night, and it blew out the little tv I had in my room. So, tomorrow, I'm getting a new ATI All In Wonder video card so I can watch TV on my computer. Cool.
Apparently you get a remote and a lot of software. It's almost like Tivo from what I've heard. Not that I watch much TV anyway, but I like collecting music videos, and this way I can record some new ones off of like VH1 and MTV late at night. Gonna be cool.
It is just like Tivo. Got a big HDD? If you had a DVD RW you could burn movies, vids, etc... onto DVDs.
