Can you record TV direct to a camcorder?

http://flint.craigslist.org/ele/220650017.html says yours has these
connections: USB, i.Link Digital Input/Output (IEEE 1394 compliant) DV
in/out, and MMC/SD Card Slot.
You should look in the instruction book as to how to use those inputs.

He's trying to run analog video from a camera into the JVC GRD270
which doesn't have analog input connectors. If the goal is to get the
video in digital tape format to then capture it using firewire, then
skip this step and go straight from the analog camera to the computer
using an external converter such as Dazzle.

So it seems you need a converter to go from analog video output on tv
or vcr to digital video input on the firewire port, but I don't know
if these will give good quality images and sound:
