You can buy a TV Tuner from Dell, which also includes a remote. My friend has it and its pretty good.

THe TV Tuner saves the video files to your hard drive, then you can burn them as data or use Nero to make them into playable DVD Videos.

You can download a trial, but you have to purchase it if you want to keep it after.

And no, it's illegal to get it on Limewire.
