i am buying a new computer. i have a samsung 32" flat screen tv. i want to set up my new computer with tv tuner, record to my hard driive, be able to save on dvd. do i have to have basic cable, or pay for premium channnels like hbo & sports channels as well as regular channels with all the new tv tuners? or is there another board or antenna which replaces cable tv?

Sorry, but you still need a cable tv subscription in order to watch cable tv. TV Tuner cards can come with multiple tuners. Most common are NTSC (old and out-going analog broadcast signals, ATSC (new digital broadcast signals), and ClearQAM (cable tv signals broadcast without encryption). In order to view/record encrypted cable tv signals, you will need a cable set-top box to do the decryption.
