Hi there.

Some camera have variable shutter frequency, so you can synchronize it with
TV's frequency to avoid flicker and rolling bands.
Many cameras have regular video inputs, so you can use those cameras as a
regular VCR.
More exotic way would be to use a TV capture card on your computer and than
upload captured video file to your camera through FireWire.

the problem I see coming with broadcast flags and Disney's latest bs

(http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/archives/001805.php " Disney wants the FCC to
regulate all devices capable of recording from any audio broadcasting medium
or from the Internet. FM radio, XM, Sirius, Streamripper, Total Recorder,
you're all in the crosshairs. It's the Hollings Bill all over again." )

is that unless we can capture what we see and hear by either recording off
the screen or from ambient room sound we're gonna be out of luck for any
fair use recording... So OK, you can diddle lots with stills shot at 1/30
second -carefully white balanced- and for the audio use a cassette or dat
recorder but I'm not all sure how the process would go trying to use a
camcorder...
