Capture video from TV onto my laptop

[fury..]

is there a way to capture video from my tv to pc,
using a stereo RF modulator, and S video cable?

i plugged the s video cable, into the modulator and the back of my laptop. and plugged my ps2 a/v cables into the modulator.

is there a way to capture it this way?

if not. what is the cheapest thing i can buy to do so please?

I don't think what you are trying will work. The simplest solution would be to use something like - http://www.mobilemag.com/content/100/104/C4687/. I use one designed for Aussie TV but found I needed and external Aerial/antenna but got all channels and could save TV shows to PC hard drive in mpeg2. Mpeg2 is better for saving video that AVI.

fury... you will need to get some type of USB input device, which allows RCA connections.

There are MANY versions around, so just find one that will work for you. I have used a $40 one very well.
