Hi everyone, I have a Sony Vaio CR Series Notebook and was wounder how I can
watch TV and record shows. I've looked and can't seem to find the right
answer.

Thanks in advanced.

Try here

How do I watch or record TV on my computer?
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...8e4191033.mspx

What should I know before adding TV tuners to use with Windows Media Center?

Actually, I prefer the TV Wonder 600 USB. I have 2 of them, one for the
desktop, and one for the laptop. Once you install the software and run a
coaxial cable from the source (cable, TV, or Satellite), just follow the
setup instructions in Media Centre, and it's EASY!

There is a caveat, however. The files can be large, and you might want to
consider an external drive (WD Passoprt, etc.) unless you watch and delete
(or burn to DVD) immediately. My son has a VAIO, and it has a 160 GB HD, and
that can fill up fast with Media files.....good luck!

Then you need a really good tin-foil hat.

buy a slingbox for your house, then just log into your slingbox wherever
you are and watch your home tv. Cable, Satelite or whatever...
