Hello
I was wandering if it would be possible to record any tv programs using my pc? The TVs not on the main line, its on a aerial but comes pretty clear. The tvs also got only one scart cable but i've got the extension for it, and the other wires red, yellow, white...etc Video, Sound L, Sound R... I think theyre called. Also my pcs got all the ports needed, as i've got a Creative sound kit on there. Any help appreciated, this would help me share some tv progs online.

Cheers!

Yeah, it is possible, have you got a Pc tv tuner card or a graphic card with a video in socket installed in your pc, If you have then either connect the aerial into the antenna port or connect the yellow component video cable into the video in socket, as for the sound L and R connect them to your sound card etc or purchase a 3.5mm mini stereo jack socket and connect it to the line in , You'll need a program like Showshifter or Windvr to record the TV programs.
