Record television show to Macbook Pro

Hey everyone.

There is a show tomorrow on my television and I really want to record it to my Macbook Pro.

I don't know how to record from tv to my Macbook Pro. It's my first time.

I just got my Macbook, a tv and this mini-display port(Mini-Displayport-Male-to-Male-Cable-with-Gold-Plated-up-to-10-8gbps-Video-Bandwi dth.jpg)

Do I need some software or some cable or some other thing to do this recording?

I really want the easiest and cheapiest method to this recording.

thank you.

This may not be the least expensive but it is easy to use and does an excellent job. Look at the Elgato product line

I have used it with very good results.

If you read the website, the instructions are there.

In a nutshell, you need to purchase a TV tuner and the software. The tuner is inserted in a USB port and connected to cable or an external TV antenna via a coaxial cable. The software will allow you to record a TV program which creates a file. That file can be viewed again and if you wish, edited to remove sections that one might not want. It will record and play HD TV.

I have a slightly older version of this:
