is it possible to record tv on your laptop?

Yes. You will want a USB TV converter. Leadtek and others make these and they work pretty well from what I understand. I know the internal cards from Leadtek do however driver support for Win64 doesn't exist.

All those connectors on the back are probably for output.  You'll need a video capture device to get a video input to your pc.\n\nThese are available with USB - which you'll need for a laptop - and run anywhere from $30 up.  You can snag them on ebay for pretty cheap.

To record the audio as well, you need to connect the video player's audio out (phono or jack) into you pc's Line In socket so your video capture software should capture both audio and video. If not, look at the program settings.\nTo find out how to do what you are asking, go to:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/uk/windowsxp/mediacenter/webdemo/hi-res/demoIndex.html\nand once you can select an option, go to My TV and/or My Videos\n\nIt is an excellent way to learn about all the functions of media centre 2005.\nI just got a new media centre pc and this has helped me a lot about learning how to use the interface.

based on my experienced. The easiest way to do it is to use web capture program called "Hypercam" http://www.hyperionics.com/hc/index.asp\nit allows you record anything you see on the computer and save as movie file.

Either get a television card for your computer of an HP DVD writer with RCA inputs. In either case you can hook a vcr to your PC by Coaxial or RCA cables. I've done both.

If you want to record and watch TV on your PC then there is only one name that comes to mind, Hauppauge.\n\nI use the Win TV PVR USB2 where I have connected the VCR and convert all my old videos to digital.\n\nHave Fun!!!\n\nBattery Wizard

Yes.  You will need a tv tuner card or some sort of video and audio inputs on the pc.  You will then have to capture the video and audio.  A lengthy process.  Comcast locks down the DVR so you can not take the media any easy way.

Does your laptop have USB ports?  Does it have a decent graphics card?  That's probably all you need.  Search for "usb tv tuner" and you'll come across several.  I have the WinTV-USB external tv tuner made by Hauppauge, and it works great.  I can watch tv, record shows, schedule recordings, and it even scans  for active channels (works with basic and digital cable, as well as regular tv).  \n\nI have an HP Pavilion dv5000 laptop, but didn't get the one built-in, because it was expensive.  I bought the tuner at Circuit City back in May for about $50 after a $30 rebate.  It was great for when we moved, because we could still watch tv on the laptop while we waited on our television to arrive!  \n\nYou can even get tuners that come with remotes, though I didn't opt for that when I bought mine; I just change the channels on the computer.  \n\nOther options include pcmcia tv tuners (plugs into the pc card slot on the laptop if it has one, search for "pcmcia tv tuner" online) and express card tv tuners (plugs into the express card slot on newer laptops that have that type of slot).  You might also try searching for "laptop tv tuner" or "external tv tuner" and see what you come up with that way. \n\nGood luck!

No, you cannot.  Any laptop's video card only supports video out and not video in.  There is no cable you can buy contrary to the other answer.  You can hook you laptop up to your PC Screen with the video out and extend your desktop to that, but your desktop wouldn't have a monitor at that point.

Your laptop would have to have a video output in order to set it up with a TV.  (Either SVideo, RCA)  You could also go the route of using a Scan Converter which runs through your monitor signal as another option.

Possible, yes.\nAll you need is A/V outputs on your TV which I'm sure you have and a graphics card that has A/V inputs.  There are many out there.\nAnd of course the cables to connect the two.

You can try running your DVD player's or computer's video out socket through a Video in socket on your VCR, then playing your DVD and recording it with your VCR. I haven't tried this before but it sounds logical.

you can use a tuner box. its an external device that you hook up onto your laptop via USB port and it has connections for your cable tv, antenna, vcr, etc. \n\ncheck this out.\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815312001
