    I just got my avermedia Avertv hybrid nano express tuner working on my laptop. I'm very unhappy with the video quality. I called avermedia and they said the device is limited to 480 reolution on the s video input for copyright reasons. I am using a high def directtv reciver for the tv source. I want use my laptop as a dvr and then out to my high def lcd flat screen. is there a tv tuner i can buy that will have a high def in such as rgb or hdmi and the same out

    i just bought this card ( AVerMedia AVerTV Hybrid ExpressCard (HC80) NTSC/ATSC/FM w/Remote - Retail)

    it will record HD content up 1080i like 720P which is pretty decent..

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815100022

    its compatible with the 1530 as it uses an ExpressCard slot.

    i got it cheap as i had a 100 dollar couponm, Dell sent me a new monitor with a stuck pixel, at first they just offered an exchange but then i rejected and they gave me credit..

    That does not say HD, only says digital.

    Appears it does 1080i, you would think they would advertise that fact a bit better since it's a pretty desirable option that a lot of other tuner cards wont do.

    Gets good reviews on newegg as well, I might have to purchase one of these. :)
