As of now, all my HD video watching is done over the air; my only extra video sources are DVD and standard-def satellite, and I have no Tivo or equivalent.
I would like to be able to record an HD program, and it appears to me that I should be able to do so with some of the available USB HD tuner/software combinations.
Any recommendations / reviews / practical advice? Can this work with my laptop, or do I need a hot-rod computer to do it?
It would be a bonus if, as a part of the deal, we could either stream the recorded video to folks we wanted to show it to, or send the video file to them to watch via email (not so practical for size, I expect), or the like. I presume in this instance, we'd likely be down-sampling it for size, too.
Suggestions?
