PCMCIA Card for a laptop?

[KevFromNy]

I was thinking about buying the Hp Pavilion dv 8130. I chose this one over the dv 8140 model because it cost a bit less. the only thing is it doesnt come with the tv tuner or DVR . I was told that if I get a PCMCIA card i could install a tv tuner and would be able to use a dvr. i dont know how true this is. Is anyone familar with this. If so can you give me any recommendationds on what exactly do I need to get and the average prices. Thanks

USB would be better.

I agree, a USB tuner/dvr is going to be better. More quality, options, and you can hook it up to a tower as well.

Thanks for the info. One last question, are these tv tuners also availabe for desktop Pc?

Yes, you should search google, or newegg.com, or the such, instead of having everyone else point out the obvious for you... please
