Graphics Card question?
I just bought a 'ATi Radiion All-in-wonder 9800SE' card (no instructions)
and not sure if I can connect my analog cable TV to the CATV socket of the card to input TV programs to my PC? Also can I connect my video recorder to the card to play video tapes into the PC? Thanks ;-) Sam (Newbie) |

Any analog source modulated to a "channel", like a broadcast or cable TV signal, VCR, etc, can be tuned in on the appropriate channel. However, if your video source has alternative outputs, like S-Video or composite (RCA, there is an adapter for that card's S-Video port if it doesn't have RCA jack, which might've came with the card), you'd get better picture using those ports, instead of the tuner input. |

Would there be no audio if I use the Aerial lead from the Analog Cable TV?

He offered helpful advice and the url in his sig is for a free computer suport forum. Spamming is trying to elicit money from people. Er, no, it isn't. The definition of spam: - "Spam is defined as unsolicited bulk e-mail sent to large numbers of people to promote products or services. Spam also refers to inappropriate and off-topic promotional or commercial postings to discussion groups, bulletin boards, or weblogging sites often referred to as "blogs"." Yes, coommercial email is just one aspect, but promoting your own forum (and that's his forum,by the way)It isn't even a sig (I rtun OE QuoteFix and that doesn't appear below the sig line so I think he just ppastes it every time), is also spamming. Most of the 'advice' on his site is wrong anyway. |
