Digital Cable to DVD Burner is this Difficult

[maximus01can]

Seeings I have no idea on this concept, I thought someone might know if it's difficult to get my Digital Cable signal into my PC and then what's necessary to capture this stuff so I can Burn off DVD's of programs/movies etc?

Sounds like you're in the market for a TV Tuner card to me. They have a cable connection and software for doing video capture.

Search TechIMO or Froogle and you'll find no shortage of ideas. They're not particularly expensive.

Thanks for the tip. I'll investigate the TV Tuner card thing a little further.

As I said, there are many threads here on that topic. I've not bought one myself but I've been thinking about one for a while.

There are really two options if you go for a tuner card.

1) Get one that is digital capeable (Mega $$$)
2) Get a regular card (~$50) and use an external tuner. Set the card to channel 3 and just use the external tuner.

Option 2 will work well if you know what you record and set it to that channel. It will not work well if you want a Tivo-like setup.

I really like this one for recording TV. The Deluxe model has plenty of software, and an infared (line of sight) remote included. I have not tried burning a recording to a DVD, might want to read the reviews.
