how can i hook my tv up to my computer so i can retrieve the shows that were recorded on my dvr (my dvr is a directv)

i have heard lots of ideas on how to do it
which is the best?

1- AV cables to VGA ) they have AV to VGA converter cables out there, if so do i plug the AV cables in my tv in the front av jack or in the back of my dvr av jack if i have one. For more info on the av to rca converter go here …. http://cgi.ebay.com/PC-VGA-to-S-Video-AV-RCA-TV-Out-Converter-Adapter-Cable _W0QQitemZ330312709564QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4ce82b f5bc&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1234%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7 C240%3A1308%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

2- TV/PC TUNER CAPTURE/RECORD VIDEO PCI CARD W/REMOTE NEW (about $15-25)
if i do this i will have to have a coax cable always connected to my pc and my dvr, but i can only have one coax cable on my dvr at a time and that is the TV to satilate
and satilate in which is the one that gives the shows for more info go here
