Yep, I purchased the optional video capture/tuner card.

Right. And I maxed out the specs (money from a nice consulting job):
* 2.26Ghz Pentium M
* 2GB DDR2-533 Memory
* 120GB 5400rpm hard drive
* nVidia GeForce Go 7800GTX 256MB video card
* DVD-RW Drive
* 17" LCD Display
* Gigabit ethernet and Intel 802.11a/b/g wireless
It's a "desktop replacement" laptop aimed at the gaming segment. So I
wanted to
try MythTV on it to see how well it would work. Maybe I can get away
from work
early enough one day to bring it to a LUG meeting.
