Your computer is equipped with a TV tuner board. In combination with Sony's Giga Pocket software, it allows you to:

Watch, record and play back analogue broadcasted cable and terrestrial TV-programs, all by remote control;

Digitise analogue video and audio using the S-video or composite and audio inputs;

Manage your video units (capsules), preview them and create multiple folders;Set up a timer to record channels at a repeated time;Suspend viewing TV (time-shifting);Stream your recorded TV contents via Ethernet (or WLAN) to connected PCs;Export your video capsules to MPEG2, MPEG1 and (DVI) AVI-files;

Sony cannot guarantee the streaming of recorded content if it is beyond a certain level of high quality.
