Is it possible to connect my pc/laptop to my cable box and record films etc, to my hard drive?

Question

I have a usb tv dongle and can watch and record tv to my hard drive after installing software and drivers. I'm guessing if I was to do the same thing with a cable box then i would also need to istall drivers. If so, what drivers and where could I find them ??

Many thanks.

Answer 1

Your TV ones.  Because that is the box you would use to get from cable signal to television signal to computer data, using either the channel 3 coax cable or individual picture and audio cable if your usb converter has them.
