Loren,
I recently purchased the  Leadtek WinFast TV USB II Deluxe

      From www.zipzoomfly.com
      Their price is $104.99

      You have to run USB 2.0 and with windows SP4  update for windows 2000
or just use XP.
      It works well and I like the software that it comes with.

      You can google search USB tuner cards, but I can say I have used this
one
      with great results.

      Here's the link

Subject: Laptop TV Tuner?

I anyone is using an external (PCMCIA slot or USB) tuner for their laptop
when traveling, I'd like opinions and comments, pro and con, on your
experience with specific makes and models.  I'm getting ready to add such a
device to my new laptop and the variety of units on the market is confusing.
Thanks
