DVR, digital video recorder ... even TiVo (after the pioneer in the market)


360 and PS3 ... there's no way to do it. These systems do not have an input for the video signal, they're output only.

You can do this on a PC though. You need to purchase a videocard that has TV capabilities.

Might be cheaper to just order the DVR from your cable co.

I have one currently and another for the bedroom on order. We always have enough space. :dunno:
