I should not have mentioned FPS only shutter speed. It is shutter speed that is important !!!

Sorry point taken.
Bottom Line -- Set video cam ( any cam ) to 1/50sec shutter speed and you will get perfect pics .straight off the TV !! Nuff said !!

If we take the question literally, she's asking why she can't "film" the TV. If, indeed, she's using a film camera, the frame rate is much too slow (24fps) to ever sync with the TV. If she's using an NTSC cam, all she needs to do is make sure the "shutter speed" (fast motion compensator) is set to the lowest setting which will minimize picking up any vertical blanking. I've never seen where consumer NTSC cams have a choice on the fps setting. They're usually fixed at 29.97.
As for getting an apology, I'm not going to hold my breath on that one.
I don't see where anyone was talking about still cameras (except you). That's another discussion entirely.
(Edit). Shutter speeds, on a motion picture camera, are not the same thing as frames per second. That would be like assuming pulse width is the same as frequency. You ought to know better.
Cheers.

Yeah, she COULD POSSIBLY be filming....but I haven't seen FILM equipment used since the 1970's.....
It's either Video tape OR DVD cameras being used...
And IN the USA...we don't have a Frames per second button on ANY camera...
You lucky guys do....
For what reason, that I don't know...
It's a "notable" difference between UK and USA. Like SKYBOX and DISH....or Freeview and ATSC....or your chips and our frys.....
Remember the OLD Bell and Howell film cameras with the 4 LIGHT T-Bar? You know....they were so BRIGHT that you feel the HEAT from them as soon as you turned it on? And you could only film for about 10 minutes before you were dying from the heat?
Ohhhh many Americans remember those units....
I'm sure you have some interesting equipment "memoirs" that you could tell us about...and we wouldn't know what you're talking about. (Coopers , bonnets ...we know them now)
There are differences....even in our language.
