How do I capture television onto a panasonic handycam?

I need to do a Halo review, using footage from the first two games. I've tried to use my Panasonic DV camera, but I can't get it to work. I've set the camera to playback once connected, and pressed record, but it won't work. I've even connected it to my VCR. Is there some way I can capture television footage using the A/V cord and the panasonic handycam, without buying anything else.

(Please be as specific as humanly possible.)

This is as specific as possible. No. Sorry, but without buying anything else, it can't be done. Even if you were willing to buy something else, it would cost a great deal of money to get the setup. Sorry,
