One of those music only channels on my cable system is playing a wonderful eclectic mix of spooky tunes, (there's stuff I haven't heard before) and I'd like to save some of it, (for private personal use only of course) if only to survive the onslaught of Christmas music they'll replace it with on Nov. 1st.

I could record via the earphone jack output, but there must be a more elegant way?

And no, I don't have a DVR.

Life was more simple back when you could just pop a cassette in and record your fave radio station.
