    I've recently bought an nVidia GeForce 6600GT VIVO display adapter, and I connected my composite video to the adapter (and the audio to Line
    In). I am using Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.

    I looked around the nVidia website, and found the page:
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/mce_extensions.html . The fourth image is
    exactly what I need.
    So I followed the instructions, I installed the MCE-enabled ForceWare
    and the NVIDIA DVD Decoder trial (although I don't think it's necessary
    to watch composite video) and restarted my computer.
    In the Media Center, I could find the nVidia display extension, I could even see the pages on screenshots 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (I couldn't
    see what's on screenshot 3 because I only use one monitor).
    However for some reason, the display setup skipped #4: whether I use
    S-Video, Composite or Component.

    Also, when I click on TV settings in MCE, it says I don't have a tuner; and I don't have "Watch TV" option in MCE.

    Note that in other programs, such as Virtual VCR, FlyDS or iuVCR, I can watch TV from the WDM driver, only in Media Center it doesn't seem to find it.

    I would like to know how to get it to ask me that, or in any other way
    how can I use Composite on Windows Media Center 2005.

    Thanks in advance!

    Have you checked this document out:
    http://download.nvidia.com/Windows/dvd_decoder/1.02-185/PureVideo_Decoder_102-185.pdf

    It appears that this software doesn't do anything with VIVO video input, at least I cannot find any mention that it does.

    That "picture 4" that got you all excited refers to connecting a TV to your video card's TV out!!!

    Good Luck!

    Thanks a lot for your answer!

    It really does look like it's dealing with TV Out Thanks for making this clear though
