Wow this takes me back...but this should help...

Get a cheap ATI x850 PRO off e-bay. They came in AGP and PCI models. These had VIVO with S-Video AND coax in/out and worked great as an inexpensive capture card for old VHS VCR tapes.

Remember to clean the heads before you play the tape for capture. And a battery backup/UPS for both the VCR and PC is a good idea.

If you connect with COAXIAL from the VCR to the computer. You should be able to set it on channel 3 or 4 depending in the VCR and setup a manual recording in media center.

The alternative to that would be third party software or even Hauppauge's own WinTV software to record from the other inputs on the card.
