For those of you who don't know what family guy is, its an animated show that was cancelled from Fox a while ago for unknown reasons and then sold over a million copies of the seasons on DVD. Family Guy basically popularized the show on DVD thing. Anyway, I have the two boxed sets. So anyway when the series is ressurected sometime next year I will A) be rejoicing and B) wanting it on DVD. Until it is released on DVD there will be months of mourning. I wanted to know if there was a way to channel the show into my computer and then put them all on DVD. I'm experenced in iMovie and iDVD. I've heard of something about some program that channels HDTV signals into ur computer but I don't have HDTV and I heard only a few channels can be recorded in this way and Fox isn't one of them. I was thinking of getting a firewire cable box but I don't know how everything would work. Should I just get a low-quality episode off the internet or is there a better way?

Get a firewire DV converter. It will take the video signal from your cable tuner and give you a firewire video output that you can use iMovie to record. From there you can burn to DVD. OR, you can get a simple DVD recorder/player (like a DVD VCR). I think they're under $200 now.

I too will rejoice when the new season starts. freakin hilarious show!

Get Eye TV. I use that for recording all TV stuff to DVD. Family Guy rules! and Don't Forget American Dad, his new show

If you have cable from Comcast, you can rent an HDTV cable box for about $7 a month. See here for more details: http://forums.macnn.com/showthread.p...highlight=hdtv
