Quote from the review:
“Let’s be honest here, ways to capture video onto a PC are a dime a dozen now. Watching TV on your box is old hat, and even PVR is a fairly easy thing to figure out, if you take the time. It’s not rocket science, and you don’t have to spend a lot of money doing it. All you need is a TV Tuner card, or breakout box, a decent enough system and some software to make it all happen. If you have cable or satellite, that’s just a bonus.
