Most premium channels on the TV are encoded with a copy protection. You can get a TV "enhancer" that may or may not work. I used a GoDVD by SIMA several years ago that worked. BUT, it only has RCA/Svideo hookups. It was easy enough to use and did the trick but the video that we have today has much better resolution than you can get with this. With either radio or TV for sound only you can plug RCA OUT jacks (in the back), into the input of any copier (DVD, CD, Cassette, VCR recorder) You can buy adapters for any of these.
You can also get an audio interface for sound recordings. But, with all the COPYWRITE laws and protection it's easier, cheaper to just buy what you want to see or hear.
The older VCR's bypass the COPYWRITE encoding. I think the VCR machines around 2000 or earlier do not have the encoded COPYWRITE protection on them. You will need to search for a copy machine that doesn't have the copywrite encoder on it.
