I have a Sony computer which came with Sony's Gigapocket software. With this piece of software, I can set my timer to record certain news shows. I can then watch them (and skip the commercials) when I want to. I can also take segments of the shows and convert them to mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 and put the files on any computer at work to show my class. It is ***much*** better than recording onto a VHS tape and digitizing later. I have browsed through Circuit City and seen other hardware that can do this.

We have some instructors who record off air broadcasts to VHS for use in class. I am looking for a way to capture these broadcasts directly to a HD (e.g. Tivo?) I want to avoid having to digitize the stuff from VHS. Does anyone have suggestions for how to do this?
