Recording DirecTV to computer
by oliveem - 12/16/08 8:26 AMPlease help. I would like to recording some TV shows to my home computer in a format that I can later download to a disk. I have DirecTV and I have Vista on my computer. Thanks
You need a video capture card . . .

Be sure you have a large hard drive as these captured videos can exceed several Gigabytes per hour.

Blue Ray drives for computers are expensive and the disks are way too high in price. Maybe in a coule of years the price will decrease.
