TV Card Question

Peerzy · 4 May 2011 at 13:18

Did a build this weekend with THIS TV Card in it.

Didn't have time to set it up but need to go back this weekend to do it.

The guy only has one aerial point in the room and that currently goes to his TV. How is best to set this up so that the TV and TV Card in his computer get aerial signal?

Can I plug the TV Card into the wall and then the TV into the TV Card? Or get a splitter?

Ideally would like to watch two different things (one on TV and one on computer) but not sure if that is possible?

Thanks for advice.

Buy a simple Coaxial aerial splitter box, either powered or not.

A non powered one would be fine?

Only reason I ask is I remember the TV Card having quite a few aerial outputs so I was wondering if you run everything through there?

I have a usb Tv card which has a built in aerial it's a dell one and the picture quality is actually ok without it plugged into the outside aerial. So was wondering if it comes with a very small aerial?

No idea about your specific card, but the wall outlet goes into the box (amplified/powered or not) is split into two outputs, and one into each device TV/PC TV card.
