tv shows for your Axim

I don't know of a device like that but there is a cheapish way to get TV shows on a memory card. My laptop has a tv tuner card and a card reader. I record the show on my computer (much as you would with a VCR) and then encode it (I use FlaskMPEG and VirtualDub but this site has many other options) for the Axim. Then transfer it to the card and watch it with Beta Player. With a 1 GB card I can fit hours of shows (great for keeping my kids from getting bored driving in the car or waiting around for things).

Another option I can use (simpler in some ways but physically a hassle the way my house is set up) is to connect the VCR to my digital video camera and then the camera to my laptop and use Windows Movie Maker. You get a WMV file all ready for the Axim. The camera acts as an analog to digital converter.
