Ok, so basically I have a 2002 HP Media Center Edition computer that I’ve used up until now. The tuner card is started to break so I want to get something new, but this time for my new XP Pro computer. I loved how you could record shows in MCE using the guide and it had a very smart scheduler that it used so I could record specific shows and go into details such as recording only first-run shows or reruns, how many to record in a day, etc. Well, I had purchased an ATI Remote Wonder tuner card and the scheduling was equivilant to a standard VCR. It used a program called K+ Guide or something like that, which claimed it could automate recording like MCE. However, I couldn’t do any advanced scheduling, basically I had to manually schedule EVERYTHING! I had to put in the exact times I wanted and everthing, it sucked. My question is, will I be able to get the same advanced settings with any of the new WinTV-PVR cards? In other words, will it work like TiVo like my MCE computer did?

You’ll have to excuse me, blonde moment, replaced all the above ok, started to install drivers, system kept rebooting, got most of the drivers in but now get a corrupt file message. I have the license key for xp but cannot find the original disc to complete set up!!!!!!!!!!! Does any one know of a site where I can download xp and use my original license? Or do I have to wait another 100 years for the manufacturer to contact me? Any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you all for your responses, i think from the looks of things I will either have to find my original discs or purchase another copy. You all get best answer MWAH.

My laptop has an internal wifi card. There is no connection for hooking up an external antenna. Is there any way that I can increase the range or hook up an external antenna? What are my options? Please be specific in your answers. Thanks.

I just moved into a new house and realized that the cable line coming out of the wall in my bedroom is far too short. Honestly, then TV is on the floor right now because there’s no furniture that’s short enough to match the short cord.

What I need to know is, how can I make the cord longer? It won’t pull out of the wall any farther even though every other cable line in the house will. What can I do and how much will it cost?
