If you can't use an inverter, that's all the more reason to buy a good, recent, laptop. Then get one of those USB TV tuners.
My laptop does just about everything I need: computer, CD/DVD player, music storage (I've been ripping a lot of my CDs lately), GPS nav system, internet, and many other things. I got one with a DVD burner so I can save things I want to keep.
Of course, you'll need the 12v adapter... |

Speaking of TV tuners, this one sounds pretty cool....little spendy but if it works as it states, then might be a decent investment.

| That one is awfully expensive. I've seen some for around $80 that will do all of that. Check Comp USA. |

One thing to keep in mind when looking at tv tuners for a computer:
For the most part, you're not going to use the PVR functions. The only reason I bought the Hauppauge PVR tuner for my laptop is because I have XP Media Center Edition, and it's very picky about the tv tuners.
Here's a search I used on TigerDirect:
