You don't rip live TV unless you are cracking cable or satellite broadcasts. Semantics aside, the best option by far is a standalone DVD Recorder. If it doesn't have to be instant, get one with a HDD and just put highlights packages on the DVD.

If you want to do it with your PC then a few of the capture cards claim to be able to do it. However unless you are happy putting only 60 - 80 minutes to a disc, quality will start to suffer.

Some will, although the quality will be very low. 7 hours on a DVD5 is VCD quality, which is sub-VHS. Some recorders will record at that level. If you can get a DL recorder the quality will be a little better, although still not great. 2 hours on a DVD5 and 4 on a DVD9 (DL) is about the point where quality starts to degrade - and it goes down quickly.
