Since your monitor plug into the computers video card and not the PVR
device this would be impossible with one of Hauppages devices. The
Kworld device you mention doens't look like it has any provision for
recording. It sounds like that you want is a Tivo or a DVD Recorder
and a small TV, or a Hauppage USB PVR and a laptop.
