I'm a little confused about you saying it changed your screen in vista.
If you're going to install Ubuntu as a dual boot, you'd need to boot your
computer with the disk. Vista would not be running, so how would it
change a screen in Vista?

While I can't comment on the new Blueray or HD DVD disks, I don't even
own media on either or even hardware to play it with to begin with so I
have no experience there, recording TV programs under Linux is absolutely
possible.
Look up MythTV.
Matter of fact, for me, Vista is completely useless when it comes to
Multimedia. The reason is quite simply because I own DVDs from different
regions in the world and the software I used under XP to allow my
computer to play DVDs region-free is not supported under Vista. I suspect
that due to Vista's DRM technologies it will never be.
