Hello,
How do I record a TV show that I am seeing from ABC.com to my hard drive, Laptop or PC? Either one.

Legally, you can't. If you still want to you can Google and find software which may do it, or it might just infect your PC!

You should be able to record, same as using a VCR. If you can put on ABC on your TV and record to a VCD/DVR, don't see why recording the same broadcast off the web is not legal. But you may want to read the fine print on the web site, it may have different rights. Probably does, most web video sites don't want you recording, need to visit the site to get the ads.

If it's Flash-based, there are many flash recorders out there, RealPlayer is one.
