    Well, since your TV has VGA you can use that. Or you can use S-VIDEO, but you will need an S-VIDEO to RCA cord. For sound you will need a 3.5 mm stereo to RCA cord. For the DVR capabilities, you will need a USB TV tuner card.

    Try this list

    I've had good success with Hauppauge, but I haven't used anything USB yet.
