    The Dazzle DVC80 (One of the Crapiest Capture devices ever Made) Does not have a TV Tuner so you can not Record TV with it....

    The only way to Capture TV with it is if you Had a Cable Box or a VCR with a Built in TV Tuner and conected your TV Cable to the Cable Box/VCR and then Conected the Output from the Cable Box/VCR to your Capture Devices RCA Inputs.....

    For an XBox you would Connect the XboXes RCA Output into the RCA Input on the XBoX...It"s not Rocket Science....

    I hope you Didn"t Pay more than $20 for that DVC80 because it is an awefull Capture device and will only capture at a Max recolution of 320x240 which is less than 25% the Resolution of a Standard DVD Pluss it in a USB 1.1 Device so it has Very Limited Bandwidth so the Quality is Just awefull Pluss it is a Buggy Device.....

    If you can return it then I would, You can get a PCI Capture device For $25 on E-Bay that will Capture at Full DVD Resolution with a Quality over 400% better than the DVC80 but you are Better off Investing the $75 to $100 and get a Good Capture device that you will actually get some Good use out of the the "Hauppague WinTV PVR-150" of if you Must have a USB device then get one with Hardware Compression Like the "Hauppage WinTV PVR USB".....

    Cheers
