Man, I would LOVE to try this out, but I never had an opportunity to do just that (I don't have a flat screen TV).
My dream would not only use this technique for watching TV through a PC and use it as a DVR, but also install some great PC games (I had Ghostbusters, some kind of space shooter and Portal 2 in mind.), have them accessible though the Extras setting, and play them just like a PS3 or Xbox 360 thanks to some USB game controllers. If you excuse me, I got to wipe the drool from my face

@feetlover149 No, you have to have a cable provider that actually broadcasts channels to you via the coaxial cable.

It's not really video capture. It's a TV tuner, which uses a bandpass filter to select a specific channel that is compositely broadcasted using a modulated RF signal from the cable provider. That is where the true magic happens. Anyway, no one would ever want this unless they had a dedicated home theater PC. It can be badass if you are meaning to use it in that way, but not with a laptop.

I have a :-
Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-TD-500
I reloaded my pc and it installed the driver with windowsd update BUT windows media centre says the following:-
'The TV signal can not be configured because a TV tuner was not detected'
Anybody have any ideas? Is there a way to tell MCE in windows 7 which tuner card to use? Its used to work before the reload and SP1 for windows 7.

@TigerDirectBlog Man I can't remember how many hours I put into this... renaming everything to VIDEO_TS to get my movies to show up, installing plugins, trying to transcode MKVs on demand bringing my PC to it's knees... blah blah. This is a huge reason why I quite EA to work on our app.

is all this free, LIVE TV is free?
forget media center, just use a DVI to HDMI cable, and that should work nice.
