Background: I am, and always have been a space buff. Recently I found out that within the next few weeks, the Seconds from Disaster documentary about the Columbia Disaster is going to air again. I want to get a digital recording of it to add to my collection.

I need help to figure out how to record it, and convert it into a digital format for storage on my PC (wmv or avi).


What equipment do i need? What software do i need? How difficult is it to set up?
And finally about how much is the cost?
