I have WindowsXP professional and I want to use the computer to see TV and
to record the programs to a 300Gb external hard drive via Firewire.

Can someone advise me where to find suitable software and hardware to
install so that I can see and record quality TV and record suitable
programs, and also to preset the recording just like a VCR recorder.

I am new to this.

Please help, Frank

Any TV Tuner card should come with some software but for real "Tivo" like
facilities, you should purchase Windows Media Center 2005 and stop using
Windows 2000.
