Run it in to your computer and record it on a HDD.

Those dvd recorders with a built in hdd are quite good, and they have come down alot in price.

AFAIK, you can't run basic cable into your computer since it's an analog signal. Besides the fact that I don't have anywhere to hook a coaxial cable into anyway.
And shut up about having old equipment or lousy cable. It works, therefore it's still good. With two kids & a third on the way, it's not exactly like I have spare cash for this anyway.

I am on digital. I have thought about trying it with the S connection, as both the video card and the box have one.
Worst that can happen is the normal total and utter failure. Which, in some small way, is better than a complete and udder failure.

You can buy an analog TV-in card, can't you?

Yes. I tried that once. It was some sort of ATI card. The recording software that came with it sucked, though, so I never really did anything with it.

Torrents. Alternately, library books, which are pretty neat.
(Fun facts: I have downloaded one thing via Bittorrent in my whole life, and I had to do it at a friend's house. I am at the library all the time.)

Yeah, they're crap. I bought once, and replaced it quite quickly. In the end I gave up on TV cards - they seem to be far too tempermental.

I've heard good things about USB TV tuners, but I haven't tried any.

I've had a couple of hauppage cards, one was a normal analogue one, and the other was a digital terrestrial one. Even using a signal booster, the picture was shit on both, and I always got this horrible interlacing interference with the picture.
I also had one of them All-in-wonder cards, and had wires trailing everywhere. Never did get it to work properly, and in the end just thought "fuck it." It was 9800 pro so it was a good GFX card for the day, but I wish I'd bought a non-all-in-wonder version and saved some money.
