rudedog, re: you can buy systems like that from CPQ and HP, ready to go out of the box. It is not much harder than setting up a VCR. Learning to use the video capture can't be too hard either - my four year old did it and she can't read yet. My eight year old does video editing and mixes in webcam stuff with scenes off of broadcast TV to amaze his friends. So I don't think it is very challenging. But you then need to move the digital info from that PC in your home office to your family room TV. I think you need at least a basic understanding of networking. And you probably need to run new wiring. Not a simple sell for the average consumer, who prefers a "one box solution", that you open up, plug in, turn on, and it works. Judging by the enthusiasm of those folks that use TIVO machines, I think TV program recording and playback could be a PC "killer application". But it needs a simplified network solution to get the average consumer to give it a try. John
