Tuner Cards

We own an old Sony Wega CRT TV. Is there any way I can connect my LD RD405 laptop ( It plays 1080p movies with ease) to it. The laptop and TV do not have any hdmi port. Is there a way that the output display can be transferred to the CRT TV.

I'm planning to buy a tv tuner and I come to think there are tv tuners with media players. I want to pick one which can support h.264 (or even h.265) with containers like AVI, MKV, MP4, for a good price. Can you like recommend me some? Please help and Thank you for noticing.:) :)

I wish to replace the rental DVR I get from Comcast, so I have investigated PC HD tuner cards (plus, I have many extra hard drives). I want to watch my cable on a TV and still be able to use my PC as a computer. Does such a device exist?

OK, what can you do about a home theater setup? I want 2 tuner cards in PCI slots, that will give me a real 1080 HD picture, one for satellite, the other for cable, or one tuner card with two (switchable) cable inputs... I want a video card in the PCIe 16X slot, that has 2 HDMI outputs for two...
