I know using camera is an option but surely there are better ways of taking screenshots from television? any help?

thanks.

either use a tv tuner card, or get a video card with vivo and use a tuner like a vcr to send the tv signal into your computer...

Since you already runined the gag by mentioning the camera, here's anotherone:

Get yourself a shotgun, position yourself in front of your TV-set with your favourite program tuned in and .... [img]graemlins/shooter07.gif[/img]

I use This, Heres the PC version

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...1.MZZZZZZZ.jpg They advertise it as a quick and easy way to hook your camera to your PC but you can hook your VCR's output to it, Game Systems, Anything... Video and audio straight to your computer... heck, even hook your computers speaker cord to it and have it rip songs from itself for all I care! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

just plug AV and audio into it And start recording, use it to rip DVDs, X box game footage, anything but 64 bit consoles like the N64 and Sega Saturn, I can't seem to get those to work, the newer consoles like gamecube and stuff work tho, just take a look at some of the stuff i've captured:
