Freeware TV Viewer???

[nezza_42]

Does anyone know of any freeware software can be used to watch TV (PAL) on my PC (with a resizable window)?

I have an ATI ViVo card, but can't run MMC with it - system incompatability issues, God bless ATI driver programmers!

I do not need to record live TV, so I don't want to buy PVR software, etc.

If I need to record, I cature using Ulead DVD Workshop and author to DVD.

All I would like is to be able to watch the TV on my PC whilst working! Doesn't need to have any fancy features, I don't need channel changers, still grabbers, captions/teletext, etc...........just a picture

Shame Windows Media Player can't do this (or have I missed something?)

I'm using WinXP

Thnxs for any help

one of these should do the trick:
virtual vcr
freevcr

I have an ATI ViVo card,

If this is correct and it is a ViVo and not an AIW......

All I would like is to be able to watch the TV on my PC whilst working!

You can't!!!

You haven't got a TV tuner. Where do you expect to get the TV signal from? Unless you intend using an external tuner, you can't watch TV on the pc in much the same way as you can't see TV images on a lightbulb!

Thanx to fmctm1sw & Evander for the replys, I'll try the app's out over the W/End.

Appologies Richard_G...and well spotted!

Actually, I forgot to mention I don't need a tuner either, just a resizable video window. I have my PC just out of view from my TV set, but have the ATI's Video in connected to the TV's SCART.

Sorry for the confusion!
