Video capture cards aren't very expensive depending on quality. As far as capturing satellite broadcasts, I'm not sure because I've heard that sometimes they encrypt the signal so that you can't read it. I have cable so it's no problem.

The card kind of works like TiVo, but the files take up a BUTT load of space. I've been taping Family Guy and then re-encoding it into DiVx, which seems to save on space. I hope you have a HUGE hard drive. You also might want to check with your satellite company to see if their broadcasts are encrypted.
