RECORDING CABLE TV TO A VCR, OR PC

[Geoff S]

I have been trying to record from the cable TV box to a VCR, PC using different cables. The Video records OK but the audio plays back garbled. Is it a copywrite issue ? and is there some special software/ hardware I can buy, to solve the problem

Very unlikely a copyright problem. Can you give us the details..

Is the cable signal analog or digital?

Which connectors/outputs/inputs are you using for the cable outputs and the VCR and the computer inputs?

Do you have a video capture card on the computer?

What software/program are you currently using on the computer to record?

Have you installed any codec packs or third party recording software on the computer?
