Question

How do I get windows 7 to record TV to another hard drive?

Mar 16, 2015 7:13AM PDT

My dad just got a brand new SDD that is lightning fast but it only has a 236 GB capacity.
We don't have the video card and the TV hooked up yet but I want to find out how to set Windows 7 Home Premium (Service pack 1 with all windows updates I believe) to record the Television to his 1.5 TB HDD (EHappy that is used for nothing but backups that don't take up much room and some useless nonsense, rather than his 236GB SSD that he just got. His video card is the same as mine, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780, he has 14GB of RAM and a quad-core 2.9GHz CPU.

I read your post twice but don't see a tv tuner or any other recorder mentioned.

I'm going with no.
