VLC will capture from a camera yes, I've not tried VLC with a TV Tuner
Card to record Live TV, I've tried to do this sort of thing with Total
Recorder but it won't work with my particular TV Tuner card for whatever
reason and the reason is probably right in front of me, that being that
there's no standard for TV Tuner cards.
Having said all that, I do have a device that works on a network so - in
theory - if the computer or Smart Phone can connect to a network then -
the theory goes - that it should be able to capture the video if the
computer or smart phone has the right tools to do so.
I know that this device works with Smart Phones - I used it when I had
an iPhone - so must try that with Total Recorder.

Hi!
I was very sad to learn that Microsoft have decided not to continue the
development of Windows Media Centre which came as a standard part of Windows 7
Home Premium and above and was available as an optional extra for Windows 8.x,
it won’t be available for Windows 10.
So what does one do for video recording on a Windows computer.
There’s only one option I know of and that’s XBMC however the last time I tired
this with Windows 7 I couldn’t access it in any way shape or form, there might
be ways to set it up so it can be controlled or accessed from the XBMC
Controller Smart Phone Apps and that’s something I’m investigating.
So - assuming all is lost for Windows - what now?
It looks as though its time to place some faith in the FetchTV Set Top Box.
The Smart Phone Apps are very accessible to the point where you can schedule
programmes to be recorded from the TV guide.
So what’s all this got to do with the Windows PC? The recordings you make can
be accessed by our computer if you want to do things that way, you can play
them with Windows Media Player, VLC or whatever.
