Help me please with watching TV!

[Royality]

What do I need to have in order to watch TV on my computer?


I have a 6800 with all the cables and a tv signal, what software do i need? Where can I get this software?!

Please help, I need to set it up before the second half of the footy!

Got a TV card yes?

I thought 6800GS was a T.V card? No?

No. It has tv out and possibly vivo, that is completley different.

No it has a TV-Out which allows you to display a signal out the TV. You still however would need a TV Tuner Card to get a TV signal.
You would then output over the TV-Out to a TV, or just display the TV onto the monitor

Oh well. I didn't buy it with the illusion it had T.V capabilities so no great loss, my brother said it could play T.V earlier and I foolishly believed him...

Thanks for the help though.

Depending on the card it might have a composite video in plug for DVD or video etc, but its unlikely to have a TV tuner on board. With the right cables you could plug a VCR in and tune the VCR.
