what software (prob need hardware too) will i need to upload vhs cassetes onto my pc?

is there anyway of recording stuff from tv onto my pc?

or just recieveing tv or sky direct to my computer, how would i then record to hard drive?

the same for fm radio, how do i record programs from the likes of radio 1 for example as they oftne only play sum songs once n you can never find them, especially sum of the white labels n remixes?

i know thius is a lot to ask but would be greatful for any info (including prices) around this subject, if anyone feels they have sumthihng else to add which i have missed off i would appreciate your response.

many thanks.

p:s, my graphics card has tv, but i have no idea how o connect my pc to the tv as there are many films on it i could just take round to a mates n watch them on his tv n leave it there wen free houses occur.

i presum in the tv out function, you can record to vhs?

you can not link your VCR to your PC

you will need to buy a PCTV card, this send the image on yout TV to (you got it) your PC ;)

so tune you card it find the channel you VCR runs on, play your tape and it should show on the PC.


cards:
