TV Tuner Card for recording on Laptop for Tata Sky DTH
Hi Friends,
Need serious expert advice.

I currently have D2H Tata Sky ( No Plus No HD).
I would like to record certain programs to my hard disk in laptop for later viewing.
My understanding after reading so many posts is that Tata Sky (or for that matter any Indian D2H service) setup box recorder only allows to record and view via setup box. We cannot transfer the recorded programs in Setup box to laptop and view on laptop.
I want to record on laptop for later viewing.
Few Questions:
1. Which TV tuner card will work my dell laptop and allow me to view and record tata sky D2H programmes?
Requirements
1. Be able to record and play later on on laptop
2. reasonably priced (upto rs 4000 or nearby is max i can speed...the lower price better)
3. Will work with Tata Sky D2H
4. Less complicated setup and let me know if any extra accessories required.
I await your expert and valuable advice as I need to purchase asap due to some urgent requirements. Hence request for your feedback suggestions.
Thank you for your time.

You are right, D2H boxes have their own mechanizm, I am not aware of any system which lets your DTH box to communicate with laptop. You can use any standard TV tuner card (USB based) and it will stream current channel to your laptop.. wait.. I think you don't need tv tuner card as it will not work with d2h because d2h only output single channel because everything is internally configured.
.. You are I think better off with D2H with recording facility.
