[johnno]

just got my x1800xt running with 6.9 drivers installed is there anyway i can link the card up to my tv. so i can watch tv on my flat screen pc monitor??

 

[wizardmaxx]

So u want to link your pc to your tv to watch tv on your pc ????

 

[johnno]

yes if its possible

 

[Van_Dammesque]

Just goto fullscreen mode in the player you watch stuff on.

 

[johnno]

no i actually want to watch my actualtv through the pc not through a tv card

 

[wizardmaxx]

No i dont think its possible, unless im missing something. Signal comes to tv. U want tv to sent signal to pc to watch tv on pc. Suppose if u have tv capture device i may be possible. Otherwise no

Should be able to use the VIVO adaptor if the TV has s-video or composite output.

 

[johnno]

ok thanks but then how would i actually bring it up on my pc monitor?? any settings i need to go into or would it just pop up.

 

[wizardmaxx]

Either the ati video capture util or i think amcap and virtualdub worked for me

 

[johnno]

whats that when its at home wizardmax

 

[wizardmaxx]

Have u ever video captured with vivo card?

Not sure as I use a TV card, ATI Multimedia centre sounds promising.

 

[johnno]

i dont wanna capture the video i just wanna watch live tv

 

[wizardmaxx]

Difference between capture and watch is the recording bit. Only way to do it, unless u want to buy tv card

 

[johnno]

suppose ill have to lol

 

[wizardmaxx]

If u do buy look for the freeview ones, more channels, PC bocomes pvr then.
