Is there a program or a way to capture a scene from the television into a computer?

I imagine there must be because I have seen sites with high quality shots of TV captures. Any idea?

I tried doing it old school by taking a picture of the TV screen and it didn't turn out too well!!

You need to have a TV tuner card or video capture device connected to your computer to do high quality screen grabs of television.

Playing a DVD in your computer works, but for live broadcast you defiantly need special hardware.

You could always take a picture of it with you digital camera

Can't you just do the ctrl + printscreen?

Tried that, but the quality wasn't so great.

My printer doesn't print from the TV. I guess my technology is not quite up to par!!
