I have an old Toshiba laptop (M105-S3084) that came with XP Media
Center 2002 - but have never bothered with the Media Center part. At home I
also have Cox cable TV, both standard and HD.

What additional hardware or connections would I need to add to receive SD
cable TV on my laptop? If a USB tuner is needed which one is recommended?
Anything else?

Thank you.

Jeff

Because this is a notebook, I assume I need one of the USB versions of
AVerTV Hybrid Volar MAX H826. They seem to have 3 groups under USB: Analog,
Hybrid and ATSC.

Which would be appropriate for the US?
