SD Telewest Box Connected To PC.. Possible?

Meatball · 20 Feb 2006 at 22:11

I have tried searching and could not find anything (Forgive me if I skipped something by accident

) but I was wondering if there was a way to connect a normal (non-HD) Telewest box to a PC to view the channels? The PC I have has a TV Card and a telewest box in the room (I think that might just be the internet signals though). Anyway, is it possible? Thanks for any help!

EDIT: The Telewest box in my room is being used to connect the modem (Motorola Surfboard), is it still possible to connect both the TV and modem from the same telewest "plug" and use the simultaneously?

it is possible, i used a scart-composite cable to do it. plug scart into the second out on the telewest box, and composite into TV card.

Hey thanks very much. Is it possible to use one telewest wall plug for both the internet and Tv?

i think so, they certainly do splitters. ask a telewest man next time there's one parked in your street, they'll give you allsorts

That is great. Thanks for all the help you have been great! Now all I need to do is find a decent Scart-composite adaptor

EDIT: I may have a problem. I can only see a yellow composite input on my tv card (TwinhanDTV Ter (D+A)). A picture of it is here: http://www.hartware.de/media/presse/3448/2.jpg

it looks like it has s-video in as well

if it does, that beats the hell out of composite.
