Yes - I use Hauppage as well, both an internal and a USB one. I have connected to both standard TV arial and to cable TV. More recently to an external DVD player as well via the s-video and audio jacks. Never had any problem apart from a few annoying little bugs with an on-board SiS vid card not being quite compatible - but it ain't bad though. Works fine with a Voodoo3 and a Matrox.Like Kevin I would also like to know how to avoid doing anything illegal;-)
