can a screen recorder like FRAPS record Consoles?

Is it possible to use a computer PC, a videogame console or cable box and a computer screen to record something from the console or cablebox? I would like to know because I want to do some recording with the xbox 360 or PS3, maybe even a TV episode that I miss. I have the ability to use HDMI on my computer screen, and my graphics card has 2 video inputs for a computer screen.

    the graphics cards you have are acutally outputs to use as a moniter...

    however, YES you can do this... but you would have to purchase a TV Tuner card.. usually placed in PCI slots on your computers motherboard... there are also USB ones for sale... go to your local computer parts store and ask them for a TV Tuner... or if you would like to shop online try newegg.com, microcenter.com, ebay.com, amazon.com
