Connect to PC Options
Hi

Apologies if this has been asked a hundred times before!

I am looking to connect my Virgin Media Samsung STB to my PC, which has Scart out and RF out. Currently I do not have a TV Tuner card.

My question is what card should I get and what cabling should I use to connect the STB to the card?

Many thanks for any help given.

Re: Connect to PC Options
The cheap way, would be a USB capture device from ebay, and a SCART to AV (red, white, yellow plugs) adapter from a pound shop.

So far, not seen any capture solutions that would handle RGB SCART, so you lose a little quality by using composite video (the usual PAL color ripples etc.). Still better than RF through a tuner, of course

There is an RGB capable system, but when you see the price
