that is because the s-video port on your PC is for video out probably and not video in. you'll need to purchase a special video card that has TV tuner capabilities. our you can purchase a seperate video capture device.

in that case the s-video port is definently an out. you'll need to buy and external video capture device. a good one will run you around $200.
