Cable/Fox PC video capture

[frankiecat]

Greetings, need a little help here. Receiving conflicting advice from a few different sources.

I am viewing cable on my TV

I want to view cable (fox) on a pc monitor (Samsung syncmaster SA350) , then capture and record it.

I have heard that the Hauppauge PVR can achieve this, but others disagree.

Which of these (or others) is the best solution.

The Fox box has a SCART output.

1. Hauppauge

2. Connect Fox to a 2nd monitor, hook that 2nd monitor up to my pc. (is this possible?)
Will video capturing software work on the 2nd monitor?

3. Can i connect a 2nd source to my samsung monitor (it only has an HDMI socket spare once connected to my pc.) I understand HDMI will not help with the analog signal. Is a dual adaptor possible?

If i am viewing fox on my pc, will i also be able to view it on TV at the same time? (there are 2 SCART outputs.)

Thanks in advance.

This will need an Oz response but is SCART the only Fox cable output?

Start with the cable box then explain the cables.

Start with the cable box then explain the cables.

there is a yellow (composite?) output, and the scart.

The scart cable out of the box is yellow-white-red into a TV.


As it stands, i have connected the TV to my PC via an hdmi cable - hoping the video capture software could record the vision from the Fox box.

I can use my pc on the TV as a 2nd monitor but of course I need to choose a different source (source button) to watch the Fox vision, and the capturing software I have records the actual desktop, not Fox. I guess that was always going to happen.

Is there a video capture software that can record this different source (not PC) on the TV?

Or is there a way to watch this Fox vision on my PC?

Thanks

Usually you can't record from the monitor. Your Hauppauge PVR can probably record the yellow-white-red.

Thanks. I will look further into Hauppauge.
