How can I take photos from the TV using a digital camera and a normal camera?

  Abdulmoneim,
Shoot in a dark room, and set your camera's shutter speed at 1/30 and set your f/stop according to your camera's meter setting. American television sets refresh their screen every 1/30th of a second.
Hope this idea is helpful.

  Photos from TV are always bad quality. I am a graphic designer and capture pics form TV using a digital video grabber (motion), then nudge from frame to frame to get the best shot. I then convert this to PICT format and open it in Photoshop. At this point much work needs to be done with the photo to have any hope of bringing it up to scratch (however it is just about possible). Hope this helps. - Roy
