you have to have a tuner...  something like this http://www.pinnaclesys.com/publicsite/uk/Products/Consumer+Products/PCTV/PCTV/PCTV+USB2.htm\n\ni have this piece myself.  you can set timers.  record and save shows, clips, etc...  it's been convenient.  \n\nunless pinnacle makes a wireless tv tuner, (which i would buy in a heartbeat) i don't believe you'll be able to do it wirelessly.

If your laptop has an available PCMCIA slot, you could use a PCMCIA TV Tuner Card.  Its so much more portable than a USB tuner, and you won't have to plug in your TV tuner or pull it out whenever you want to pack up your laptop. You could just leave it in its slot.\n\nAnd about Internet TV - THEY'RE DIFFERENT from regular TV that are broadcasted via air/cable. Sure there are several thousand Internet TV stations, but these are just from small studios with programs and shows that you'd be unfamiliar with, a lot is in foreign language. Programs broadcasted via air are usually not available in Internet TV

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!

Dish Network had a free installation and a free DVR upgrade. I couldn't live without my DVR and you shouldn't either.

add a tv tuner card to one of your empty slots in the back of your computer. then you either use a spliter from your cable box to your computer or a direct line to the back of your computer. you will be able to watch anythiig that the tuner picks up
