    Hey all,

    WIll be purchasing Hel80 soon... not sure if I should include the tuner in my purchase. I watch a lot of tv shows from my desktop but dont have a tv tuner card or anything.

    Are these cards able to record multiple shows at the same time on different channels and of course can the card included in the hel80 do it?

    If the laptop will not be a desktop replacement is there any reason to get a tv tuner card in it? If Im just hanging out in my room and want to record somethin on the laptop I have to have a cable wire going through the middle of my room into my comp? If this thing was wireless that would be great.

    Also has anyone tried to install any tuner cards other than the freelife one or whatever its called? One with FM receiver? ANy info would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Josh
