I would try snapstream.com. You can buy a bundle there w/ a tv tuner, or get the tuner seperately at bestbuy or another place and just use the software. The snapstream software is awesome. Once you have a tuner card/device installed, you can set snapstream up to record TV and automattically convert the show to make it PPC compatible via WMV or Divx. You can also control your recordings remotely from another PC using a web based gui. It will also allow you to stream recorded shows to your PPC, however, I wasn't able to get it to work. I didn't spend too much time tinkering w/ that feature though. If anything, they offer a 21 day trial download. The best thing about this software, was that it worked right "out of the box". I really didn't have too much to figure out. Download-install-configure...and it all worked!

FYI...the size of the files were about 300 mb for 1hr of good quality video. I got it down to 170 mb for decent/fair.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions...I'd be glad to help.
