Yes you can, windows Media Player has a feature to record TV and there are various programs that do it too, they have video cards that have TV tuners too for over air HD antennas, also, the LCD TV’s today have both HDMI input and the older DVI standard that older computers used, it truly is a great set up, funny, I used to be a cable guy too, ha,ha, I hated seeing how customers had to pay out a hundreds of dollars for entertainment, especially those who couldn’t afford it, the internet is a gift from God, it truly empowers the individual in a way that is truly astounding, the cable industry can no longer dictate which channels to carry, the phone companies and wireless providers are laying the ground work to compete, the cable industry will be forced to change or die like the corrupt monopoly they are!
Thanks, I may take that path, right now by browbeating the cable co with the possibility of a switch to U-verse my costs aren’t too bad. But I continue to look at alternatives.
