Please log in for more thread options Well it can, but it is a PITA since you have to re-setup the tuning source
each time and then set it back to use the TV functions again. Unless you are
using a plain analog antenna, then I suppose you could just plug the
coax-out from the VCR into the tuner card and change to channel 3.
It also doesn't have the fine controls for adjusting the recording like many
stand-alone programs may have. That's why I didn't bother using it when I
needed to capture some old tapes; I just dropped out of MCE to the XP
interface and used the program that came with my tuner card.
