Capturing Video from TV

click on one of our sponsors! OR REMOVE ADS

I'm wondering how I can record video from my TV onto my computer. I'm googling stuff right now on how to figure it out but I'm not getting much. I have a S-Video link right now so that I can use my TV as a computer monitor, but I'm wondering if I can reverse it. Can anyone point me in a good direction?

Basically, will I be able to capture video from my TV with what I have?
