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

Hi Bob, I'm a perl programmer so that's what I rely on mostly. I have looked into php a little, without actually getting to use it much. My impression of it was that the primary advantage was that you could embed your code in your html document like an ASP or Javascript environment. So it's good
