Hi! I am new to this forum. I need some advice on what I will need to capture video from tv and vcr onto a laptop. Also, what will I need to use the laptop to record tv like TIVO. I am planning to buy the laptop next month so I am looking for a model that will give me this capability. I have not found any laptops that have a tv tuner input or a video card capable of capturing video. Is there any extra equipment I will need to buy. I appreciate any advice you can give me. Thanks!
