I assume you want to load the Matrix in the bg and use it as a guide for your characters. If you have a video camera you can shoot the tv and then capture that tape to your computer to use as background. Quality will be bad, but doesn't matter since you are only using it as a guide. If you don't have a video camera there is another way that's cludgie but faster than frame grabbing the whole thing. You set the video up on one monitor and get the picture good and bright. Your computer monitor is next to it. You dim the room lights and use a mirror to reflect the picture onto the computer screen. I've used this for lipsyncing before I got Mimic, so I know it can be done.
