How to Capture Comcast On Demand Programs on a PC

You can record your On Demand rentals from Comcast to your computer's hard drive so you can enjoy them at a later date, or upload them to a portable digital media player. Windows already includes the Windows Media Center to record TV programs, so all you will need is a USB TV tuner adapter to transform the signal from the Comcast receiver to a format compatible with your computer.
