I have almost everything I want in my PC for it to be a complete HTPC suited adequately to my needs, but I am missing two things. I am specifically looking for a VCR add on for my computer, so I do not need to use my normal VCR, and I am also looking for an AM/FM/SW radio for my PC. Does anyone know where I can get these utilities, as I have no idea where I can get them.
ATI Tv Wonder Pro tv card and WINDVR 3 works great for me. Records excellent quality Mpeg2 video, and if you get a dvd burner it does straight to DVD like TIVO I believe. Not tried it yet, gotta get a DVD burner!

What I mean is a physical VCR in my machine. I want to be able to watch my VHS tapes on my machine without having my VCR hooked up to it. I am not talking about the ability to record, as I can already do that to my HDD. I want to be able to watch my VHS tapes by inserting them into a 5.25" drive.
The only stupid question is the one not asked.

The physical dimentions of a VHS tape would seem to preclude a player for them fitting into a 5.25" bay. or do you have one of those TARDIS model PC Cases?
