dungsport 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2005 How about buying an external TV tuner and plug it into the USB port (if any). No physical operation is required. Oops, this wouldn't work unless your laptop is still running. I check on Ebay, a TV tuner should not be so expensive. They're around $30 to $100. Check if it is an option for you.
