Default Re: Internal TV Tuner Card

I want to have a TV tuner card with my New DELL XPS 1530 M .
Dell is supplying "AVerMedia AVerTV Hybrid NanoExpress DVB-T " for Rs 3315 with this lappy.
Should I be able to watch Digital as well as Analogue TV. I also intend to record some programmes from Discovery and National Geographic. Is it possible with this card ?

Dell's tech person did not have clear idea about recording. He was telling that I would need a set top box for recording and may not be posible with the normal cable connection.

Pic. of vard and details ragarding it are attached. Please advise whether I should go for it or not. what about value for money ?
