Does anyone have the ability to record from a TV channel (NBC) and convert it to a digital file (.mp4, .avi, etc). Maybe everybody can do this, I don't know, I can't. So there is a show being broadcast next week that I really want a copy of. Is that possible? Or can someone advise me on how to do it?

Prefer someone local-ish if possible (denver/broomfield/boulder). There will of course be some sort of compensation for your time.
Thanks!

I have a V-Mate, but a co-worker has it. It will convert tv shows into a digital format. I recored some WSBK races and took them on my PSP for a trip one time. Works awesome.

Your best bet is to see if you can find the show on a torrent site that someone posts. If it is a popular show, you should be able to find it on the internet somewhere. Xbox360, PS3 Network, etc also offer tv shows to download for a fee....

But this is only on once a year and the company that owns the event watches it worse than DORNA. Plus, no PS3/xbox etc. Thanks for the tips.

Well the day after it airs send me a PM to remind me and I can search on torrents for you. It is hard for them to remove a torrent since there really is not one server it lies on, so if someone puts out the file it should be easy to get. Not sure, just depends how popular this Ford Ironman World Championship is.
