Iv just bought one from PC world. Its a Packard Bell one that comes with a remote control. You can hook up a TV ariel / Sky box and video inputs to do what you need to do, and comes with all the software youll ever need for video editing. It costs only �30, but at the moment its �19.99. Hope this helps.

A word of warning;

I bought a TV card for this purpose and the results are far from DVD quality!

I paid about �50 from my card if i remember rightly. i am not saying it cant be done, i might have a bad one, just warning you before you make the same mistake as i did.

I read an article a few weeks back in the sunday times where someone asked the very same question, they recommended some box of gadgets that sold for around �100 if i remember rightly, but i cant remember what it was called, Im afraid.

Well, you can't expect DVD quality from a VHS source, and when you compare the results with a DVD you will really notice the difference. However, if you are happy with that, you can get pretty good result with even a cheap card. Try this site for lots of information:
