For every one you wanted on the system.

I am intrigued by the whole computer idea but dont fully understand it.
(But I am learning). To be truthful, I dont have or see a need to be
able to record. I cant tell you the last time I did even with a vcr.

Then I'd think any money spent for computers or pvr's is a waste of money.
Stay with what you have.

Could I somehow use computers and replace my tv's with monitors? Maybe
acess my dvd player throughout the house?

Well 2 of my TV's are really regular old computer monitors. What's a TV,
except for a monitor with a tuner.

The Sony PVR DHG-HDD250 (I think that's correct) was recently
discontinued and has been available for sale prices recently. You
might find one on eBay. It has three types of tuners (NTSC, ATSC,
and QAM), and works great.


Ok

Dumb question but does there exist anything that is
portable and fits bill above?

Something for use in RV or camping?


Most of these aren't that big.........

Question...can you hook these units straight up to a
computer monitor and NOT a conventional TV?

Well certainly not as portable as a laptop would be.

Depends if the monitor had inputs to match the ouputs of the unit. You'd
have to see the specs of both.

Most of the boxes mentioned in this thread and PVRs. You should be able to
make anyone of them portable, or at the very least, luggable.
