I have found the best way is to use a hub. they are cheap and efficient. You need an ethernet card but unless your pc is old, it probably has one built into the MB.  Thanks for the question, It made me remember a question I had about my comp :)

There are even USB TV tuners that you can buy.\nI would recommend on buying the USB TV tuner. I've "heard" that they are better than the PCMCIA ones. \nAnother reason on buying the USB one instead of the PCMCIA one is that because it's USB you can connect it on any desktop with USB. \n\nYahoo now is advertising a good USB Card for their Yahoo Go.\nhttp://go.connect.yahoo.com/go/tv/get_started\n\nAnd here is a USB model TV Tuner http://go.connect.yahoo.com/go/tv/dvr

Go to best buy and buy a tv tuner card... they'll install it and everything. Should be anywhere from 20-300 dollars, depending on what quality you go with. They'll be able to help you pick the right one, and you will still have the same old computer, only it'll be a DVR too!

You should contact your cable company and ask them

Get a video capture box for a VCR to PC connection.  This will work well with the DVR as well.  I'm not sure if that USB port can stream content from your DVR but the capture box will do the trick very nicely.

I use a program called realvnc. Type it in your search box. It has never failed me!

It depends on what brand and model of TV you have.  It would have to have a VGA or DVI connection to accept a computer signal.  Check your TV manual or maybe glance at the back of the TV to find the correct port you need.\n\nIf you have either a VGA or DVI connection, simply connect the cable to the back like you would a regular monitor, and then use your remote or menu buttons to toggle your video to "PC".

You need a TV Tuner in your Computer to do it.  If you have an open PCI slot you can purchase one.

My Tivo has a splitter which can record 2 shows at the same time.  Most cable boxes with the DVR recorder is capable of doing that.\n\nJust ask for multiple input or go to radio shack for a splitter.
