Can I record live tv using a capture card even if my tv does not have a video output port, just video input?

Question

I understand how to use a capture card to record xbox 360 gameplay even though my television does not have a video output port on it. So is there any way to record live tv with a capture card to my computer without my television having a video out port?

Answer 1

If your live-TV comes from a coaxial cable (normal, old TV cable) and your capture card has an input for it, plug it directly but you won't be able to watch TV at the same time unless you buy a splitter for you cable.

If you have cable box or satellite, plug your box into your capture card.
