    My work "laptop" is a Toshiba Satellite that came with an external TV tuner. It is made by Toshiba as well. All it is is a small box, about the size of a CD case. I doubt it would be very expensive. It was very easy to hook up with Windows XP Media Edition. Works like a Tivo. You should be able to get one for less then $200 (Canadian).

    A decent tv tuner isn't gonna be cheap, you get what you pay for.

    I have ATI All In Wounder VE PCI capture card, bought for $47, it does work pretty good.
    Great for video capture from Cable/TV, Vid cammera & VHS, I dont remember the exact requirements, but youll need decient video card on your PC as well, or lot of features wont work.

    I also run dual monitor's so I can watch TV/movies/sports what ever while I surf the net, I love it!
