    Somebody must have some knowledge...

    is my best bet for, let's say, recording console games like halo2 and such using usb2.0/firewire, or a pcmcia card?

    is the medium different for just using my e1505 as a TiVo?

    For god's sake, give your post a chance to be read. If I were you, I'd search the forum before bumping your post every couple of hours. Or go look at the list at VideoHelp.com. My $.02, USB external encoding such as the Hauppauge PVR USB2, if you have regular cable to hook it up to.

    if you have the 1505 you do not have a pcmcia card anyways, you have an expresscard. I would also like to know of some options of tv tuners out there, that are compatable with MCE
