Digital recordings are trivial.  You merely have to be able to save a 
stream at 19mbps (2.4MB/s).  As for playback, a 1.9GHz Ath64 should have 
no problem.

What exactly is 'analog digital'?  As for analog, the HDHR is digital 
only, and cannot capture analog signals.  If you want analog capture on 
a laptop, you need to get a USB tuner.
