I recently purchased a Matrox tv tuner card which gives one many of the features of Tivo (recording shows, instant replay, timed recordings, etc.). I'm very happy with image quality and stability. It can produce a 702x480 image which is about as good as you can get without moving into HDTV. It stores a minute of video into about 65mb. Resulting video files can be imported into non-linear video editing programs such as Adobe Premiere.
