You might be able to use your existing program if you ( or have
someone ) set up a virtual Windows XP (or whatever) OS you were using
before ..... on your new computer.

How much are you willing to spend on a DVR?  Although there are very
inexpensive DVR's available I usually spend $600.00 on up. That's
dealer pricing. End user pays about $900.00 with installation,
networking and setup. I see  units out there selling for $250.00 or
so. Size of HD in the DVR is a pricing factor also. You might have to
pay a little more now while the HD industry catches up with production
after the floods in Tiwan. They say prices will be back down by
Spring.
