TV tuner software on VIVO?

[legionpc]

Is there any TV tuner software available that'll work on the Video In/Video Out port of my GF4? It only has S-video in, but I can use a converter to run a TV aerial into it.

Stemming off from the part about TV aerial converter, the one I've seen converts aerial to RCA, and I then use an RCA to svideo converter. Thing is, the aerial -> RCA converter I've seen only had the yellow plug, so how would I go about getting sound?

Thanks

Plug the jack into your Line-In of your sound card ??

Maybe TheFlyDS from http://www.asvzzz.com/index.htm will work. I've never tried it with your setup, but it does allow you to watch tv through a VIVO connection. Not sure about the tuner aspect.

Obviously you didn't read my post properly :P

I said that the converter only had the yellow plug - thus no cable to plug into line-in. The aerial cable has sound and video in the one thing, right? With the converter, there is only a video plug, so how am I supposed to access the sound that is coming through the aerial cable?

Perhaps this picture will illustrate what I mean a bit better:



Do you see how on the cable that has a female aerial plug on one end, and an RCA connector on the other end (aerial -> RCA cable) it only has the one, yellow video part? Notice how there is no red and white cable for sound? My question is how am I supposed to get sound here? Are converters available that have all three RCA plugs on the end?[/img]

you can't plug a cable/arial signal in your card. It is a completly different type of signal, ou need a tuner to demodulate the signal. What you can do is use a vcr with a svid/scart out, plug the arial in the vcr and plug the svid/scart in the video in.

Ordinarily that would have been what I'd do - but my VCR is screwed at the moment. For some reason, when watching TV through the VCR, certain channels flicker horribly every few seconds. These same channels work flawlessly if I watch them on the TV, but if I'm watching them through the VCR, I get the flicker. Hence why VCR isn't a viable option in this case
