Record TV Programs on CD

[RolyPoly]

Would anyone know how to record a tv program onto CD?

A friend is going to be featured on a TV program. He wants to record it on CD when the program is aired. Anyway that this can be done?

Get a TV tuner card for your PC/NB. Some have software to do that.

Or record it on a VCR and send to convert to VCD (shop next to Popular Summit)

Use a camera to record the TV :D

Try option first to test the quality.

if it is just one off, just ask people to record for you.

maybe u ask your friend to talk to the TV guy and get a copy...even better quality

I think nowadays shops sell DVD players with recording function. I'm not sure if it's possible to put it on CD later.
