Re: Connecting virgin media v+ to my pc help please
 

There's two ways of doing it..

1# via an audio/video link (either wired or via a video sender) to the AV/Input on your TV card

2# Via a video/audio streamer (something like a slingbox) to the ethernet/wifi on your PC

You can not though extend the VM cable itself and use a TV/cable card as the channels are encrypted

You can get output from the second SCART, VCR, that sends out what you are watching unless you are copying to DVD. To connect to a PC you would need to use the composite video input. The V+ has no RF out to use with a tuner card AFAIK.

Hope this helps...:)

Depends what inputs you have available on your TV tuner card?

I have just an ariel plug in on my tv tuner thnx

Re: Connecting virgin media v+ to my pc help please
 

Then the only way is to get something like this http://www.pulsat.com/products/Mercu...rt-to-RF).html so you can use the Video Scart Output on your box to connect to the RF input on your tv tuner.

Maggy can you help me plz

Re: Connecting virgin media v+ to my pc help please
 

you have a tuner .. thats for connecting to an aerial .. in this case you dont need the tuner because the v+ box is being the tuner.

So its just sending the display information afaik and not needing to be 'tuned' to display stuff ... telling ppl what card you have in you pc exact make and model would help in any case

THATS THE LINK TO SHOW YOU WHIVCH ONE I HAVE

Re: Connecting virgin media v+ to my pc help please
 

That's digital only, so it won't work.

Your RF modulator is going to be giving an analogue channel, so you'd need an analogue tuner.

Re: Connecting virgin media v+ to my pc help please
 

In these days of digital (for better or worse), I legally recording a lot of TV would not bother recording non-digital to e.g. PC unless it was e.g. one of my rare otherwise-unobtainable VCR analogue tapes.

It is still possible to buy very cheaply new a fine stereo VCR, with SCART socketry, and to record legally when setup properly from V+ to VCR. One can then record from VCR analogue-wise via SCART to SCART in TV-video grabber to e.g. PC. And then edit/process recordings.

Good luck with your choice - ideally, ask in real shop from real person with real useful experience.

Currently we use Hauppauge TV USB stick into Win XP-Vista-Win 7 32 and 64 bit, and MSI analogue-TV thingie into XP. Apart from Topfield PVR transferring recordings via USB into PCs ....

Good luck in effecting solution that is right for you - we often need mpg stuff on computer-VCDrw-SVCDrw-DVDrw to use until we can legally buy e.g. official DVD etc.

Yes it should do as that is an analogue tv Tuner card.
