Does PS2 have a line in?

I was just wondering, does PS2 even have a line in? How does this grab input?

My concern would be this -- what happens when you want to play a PS2 game, but your PS2 is busy recording one of your scheduled programs? Seems rather inconvenient to me. For as cheap as TiVo's are, I rather have the convenience of TiVo doing it's own thing and allowing me to use my game console whenever I want without interrupting a recording.
Now if the PS/2 is just a playback device, with the PC doing the recording, that may not be an issue. I still prefer an all in one box to take care of business.
