Are you sure the box will output anything at all via the RF? If it won't then you are kind of stumped unless you can convert the signal from the SCART to an RF cable.

if you cant get channel 5 then you have no chance of using the freeview box.


I had the same trouble.. i was going to use a freeview box in the bedroom but could not reiceve channel 5 (even with a booster)

So in the end i purchased a wireless sender and reciever works a treat, albiet i have to watch whats going on in the living room but hey you cant have everything..

Re: freeview on my computer
 

i have a hp media centre which has a ( s video socket )at the front ?

Re: freeview on my computer
 

is there no composite on the back? looks like a normal audio socket,if not you can buy adapters that turn scart to svideo and audio,check to make sure box will switch svideo, your digi box may have the same svideo connection on the back

will this from my box into the pc work you think

Re: freeview on my computer
 

Do you have the apropriate ports to plug the leads into on the TV card?

Re: freeview on my computer
 

mmmmm thats a good question like a say that the leads would plug in at the front of my pc

Re: freeview on my computer
 

And do the ports at the front connect to the TV tuner card at all? If not I can't see how the signal will be decoded by the card. What ports/ connectors do you have on the tuner card itself?

Re: freeview on my computer
 

the audio does not need to go into the tv card only the video,The audio and simply be plugged into sound card/ I/O via a stereo 3.5 mm jack to phono

Re: freeview on my computer
 

might be easier to get a dig card i suppose

Re: freeview on my computer
 

a dvb-t card will be a lot less bother, and the quality will be FAR better.

Re: freeview on my computer
 

Every digital tv card ive found is flawed. Worked on a medion media centre pc which would only find a portion if the channels. Now I am a good friend of a tv and ariel guy who fitted a proper wideband ariel on extended pole and the signal wa perfect. 2 digital stbs workperfect but the pc tv card pants, Medion was contacted and we were told (maybe blagged) that digital tv cards do not receive everything a stb does

In fact every tv card ive ever worked with has been pants in one way or another

Maplin have an external digital terrestrial reciever for computers on offer this month....

I can't say if it's any good or anything.

Just thought I'd mention it.

I'm tempted to get one for my laptop, but I'm not sure.

Re: freeview on my computer
 

That cable looks like a Pc to Tv cable. I use a similar thing to get svhs and left and right audio out of the laptop and into my telly box :D

Re: freeview on my computer
 

For that money you can buy a fully functional stb,plug that into a standard tv card using handymans scart. IMO this will give you the best overall quality/features/performance over any digital tv card
