Just buy a $50 TV tuner for inside your computer and save yourself all of the hassle. Or for $25 or so more, you can get an external Tuner that will hook up to your LCD display or monitor without using your computer.

I have a tv card in this computer, its pretty cool you can also make the window real small, set it to 'always on top' and watch it while you surf the web and stuff.

I use this program to run a remote control too (it can control many other aspects of the computer too): http://www.mediatexx.com/
