I have an oldish PC at home, a 1.3g celron with 640m ram, and a DVD burner with Nero6. Is there any way I can record TV and burn it to DVD. I know I would need a card of some sort but I dont know what sort. Assuming I were to get a card, where to then? Any pointers much appreciated.

Not necessarily that product or that supplier but if you check places like komplett or marxcomputers you could check the system requirements of competing cards.

i have one of these on my dell pc at home. It runs Xp which seems to be a requirement
Works quite well and supports svideo and composite so you can record froma a DVD player, VCR or camera and burn to DVD.
This came as part of my pc bundle so I dont know how much it actually cost.
Saw some similar stuff in PEATS recently.

Given your spec I think you need to ensure that whatever card you get can do hardware mpeg encoding as opposed to doing it in software on your PC.
The hauppage cards are probably a good bet, maybe not the 500 linked above unless you need the dual tuners but the 250 or 350 maybe.
That avermedia one seems to require a higher spec machine and I'm not clear if it has hardware encoding. Also you need USB 2 to use it an older machine might not have it (though it can be added with a PCI card)
