How can I record the Superbowl 2010 onto a blank DVD from my computer?
Question by Nicole Brown: How can I record the Superbowl 2010 onto a blank DVD from my computer?
I live in Ukraine, even though I'm American, and two of my friends need the superbowl onto a DVD because they can't get it. I can't record it onto a DVD from my TV because I don't have a DVD player that can record and burn it onto a disc. I was wondering if anyone knew of a site that I could go to that will let me burn it onto a disc.Or I also have SlingPlayer. If anyone knows how to put a recorded show from SlingPlayer (SlingBox?) onto a DVD, that would be helpful too.
Cheers!

Watch it on TV in the computer with a TV tuner. Record it to your hard drive. Then use something like DVDFlick to convert it and burn the DVD. (You'll probably need a different program, because DVDFlick most likely will convert to a format the TVs there can't play - you probably use PAL. If they want to watch on computers, just burn what you record to the DVD.)

What Should I get to record xbox 360 gameplay in good quality (and possibly TV shows) (choices in details)?
Question by John: What Should I get to record xbox 360 gameplay in good quality (and possibly TV shows) (choices in details)?
I've done some research and should I get the
Hava Platinum HD (I dont need Wifi)
HD PVR model 1212
A Slingbox (havent done a reseach on this, only heard about it)
(there was something else that started with an H, but I cant find it)
or suggest your own setup.
Ideally, I would want to spend under 0, but suggest whatever would work (I found the HAVA Platinum HD for and was leaning towards that, but I was wondering that since the video has to be fed into that and then out to my TV, would there be noticeable lag?)
Apparently HAVA doesnt record in full HD, just 480i or something similar, any suggestions for HD recording?
The Viera is a TV, I already have an HDTV

Q&A: How to Record music from satellite TV to MP3 on my computer?
Question by luckyone_27105: How to Record music from satellite TV to MP3 on my computer?
I usually do not have problems with basic electronic stuff but this one has got my head spinning. I want to use some of the music programs on TV to record mp3's on my computer. Inexpensive would be a big plus.
RCA to USB cable? TV tuner? TV converter? Slingbox or a slingbox competitor? What do I do? And yes, all these are available, they just don't explain how to use them in layman's terms
OOPS!
I want to record in stereo and not sure why a mic in would do that.
Current configuration is Satellite TV provider, minimum broadband, and a decent entry level PC.
Windows XP OS

Hello,
In order to record TV audio from your Satellite, I have written the following steps to help you:
You will need:
1) Make sure your tv is on, and connect a jack lead from your Headphone socket on your TV, into your PC's Mic Socket.
2)You need to use sound recording software such as "Sound Recorder" on XP or you can use different software and press record
3) That's it, It will save it as an MP3 or WAV and there you have it!
Cheers,

How to record & watch tv on my laptop?
Question by wmarie: How to record & watch tv on my laptop?
Okay, I want to use my laptop to record tv shows and such. BUT, I am completely confused by all of the products that are on the market and I find it extremely difficult to decide exactly what I need.
Here's what I have:
A HP pavilion dv6000 entertainment notebook
wireless internet/router
Windows Vista
Here's where it gets confusing: My family has Charter cable in every room in our house. But the only room with a box is in the den. The rest of the rooms just have "extended basic" cable and we connect with a coaxial cable in the back of the TV.
I would prefer to have whatever device I buy located in my bedroom, so what would I need to be compatible with just the coaxial connection? Or, would it be better just connect to the box in the den? But then, would it interfere with the den's TV in any way? And would my computer have to be in the den?
My laptop came with preloaded software to work with a product called a Slingbox. Would the cable in my room be compatible with this? Here's a link: http://www.slingmedia.com/go/slingbox-solo-connections
I know it's a lot, but please help me out! What all do I need, and what would ya'll suggest?

You just need a TV tuner so that you could connect to CATV coax.

Q&A: How to connect multiple TVs to cable and be able to record shows?
Question by might_wake_up: How to connect multiple TVs to cable and be able to record shows?
If I have multiple TVs that I want to connect to my cable, but do not want to run any coax, the best thing I can think of is to connect them via wireless or ethernet cables.
Products like slingbox and Sony's LocationFree have a lot of additional functionality and are a bit costly for my limited use case. I only care about viewing TV while at home and would (ideally) use my home network to stream content between TVs and whatever recording device. Can anyone suggest a setup or a product to use for this? I know slingbox is doable, but it requires 4 items (slingbox, 2 x slinglink, slingcatcher) which adds up.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
Thanks!

Wireless will work if you don't have interference from walls, doors and other wireless devices. You won't know until you try.
Using ethernet cables would be the same as running coax unless your house is already wired with ethernet cables. If it is, it should be wired for cable tv also.
Check out the house to see if it is wired for cable. The main connection box might be in the garage.
If it's not, good luck. Cable would be a lot cheaper than slingbox.

I want to watch the NFL in the Philippines. How can I record them and watch them later?
Question by Julie C: I want to watch the NFL in the Philippines. How can I record them and watch them later?
I do not want to get up at 3am so I can watch the games live. I want to be able to record them and watch them the next day. I have a house in the US that I can use, to set anything up that I need. I want something simple, easy to set up and easy to access from my computer. Slingbox sounds very complicated and I don't think it can record. I am not asking too much am I...? lol Any advice will help. I will be here in Manila for 2 years and I cannot miss anymore games. I am going nuts. Thanks!!!!!

Answer by deviated_2
Your right the Slingbox doesn't do the recording. What You will need is Slingbox,DVR, router,cable or satellite for tv and dsl or cable for internet at Your house in the US. You will need high speed internet and a computer on the other end in the Philippines. From the Philippines You would control everything thru the slingbox and watch it. It's not that hard.
Enjoy the games

The Hauppauge HD-PVR is by far the best option for capturing HD video onto your pc or mac period. It can capture 1080i HD video with surround sound. It is a little pricey however at 8 on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Hauppauge-1212-Definition-Personal-Recorder/dp/B0018LX0DY/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1233979101&sr=8-1 but I have 2 of them for doing HD cable on my HTPC and I love it. Although it's pricey it captures really nice HD video with surround sound in H.264 format. Even at 0 its still the cheapest option currently on the market for capturing HD video. It really is your only/best option. Plus it works on windows and Mac. Oh, PS Apple TV does not capture video and I'm not sure if the slingbox Pro-HD software for mac is out of beta yet. Basically go with the HD-PVR you wont be disappointed.
