I connect the cable to a VCR (because you need a tuner) and then connect the "video out" from the VCR to my "VIVO in" connector on my video card...

If you don't have one, buy one. A $30 VCR will work better than a $50 TV-Tuner card... (and it comes with a remote control, too)

The $48 Leadtek tuner comes with a remote and allows you to use PVR functionality. There is no contest here.
