Recording TV/Video to hard drive using windows media centre

[edwinchester]

Is this possible?

I have a sony vaio VGN-AR31M, running windows vista, I see you can record TV in Windows media centre while watching tv, and then burn to DVD-RW or CD-R, but is there anyway of recording anything straight to your hard drive?

The option is in Media centre (pre-installed on your laptop). Open it up and just hit record on the bottom bar, should be easy.

That does'nt actually work, the record button does'nt work at the bottom of the screen, don't think that actually records to your HD. another way, where are the recorded items saved on your computer?

All TV is recorded to the hard drive. You can change the location of the recorded .dmr-ms files. See here: -
