Using HDTV Analog HDV Card as a "Tuner"

[Digital-Overload]

Hi Guys, Its been awhile since i posted here (about 2-4 years actually)

and my new PC is almost done, and it will come equiped with a PCI-E Black Magic Intensity Pro HDV Tuner Card, Capable of Recording FULL 1080,

anyways, other than recording i was wondering if there is a FREE tuner Program I can Download to open a LIVE stream from the device and full screen it.

Basically, I know VLC works with my older tuner cards but not sure about this one, site says its Direct Show Compatible.

Doesnt Virtual Dub or something have a "Full screen" option

Analogue has nothing to do with "HDTV".

sorry, i done figured all i needed to out, and I am now capable of recording 720p and 1080i via YPrPb or HDMI.

Are you talking about wifi streaming??? B or G wifi won't cut it for high def. Unless maybe you are on a point to point line of sight connection and can max out at 54G. You'll either need to be on a lan connection, powerline connection, or possibly wifi N to get anywhere near a fast enough hiccup free high def viewing over wireless. At least that is the case in my experiment with wifi G. I tried streaming a 720p .tp file and it wasn't a smooth experience and really suffered hesitations.

Now if you want to do sdtv over wifi then G should be more than enough. I was able to that through a second floor pc with a standard def mpeg 2 file and had no problems whatsoever. I can even fast forward through it.

But as mentioned to use it as a forced feed to the tv you'll need something a lot faster the B or G wifi. Try N or a physical connection for better reception.

Dude, READ my First Post, and Google The Hardware I Listed,

I Was Asking if there were Direct Show REcording Programs that have a Full screen capability with no time delay.

I FIgured it all out on my Own, My Xbox360 and HD DVR are Hooked to a 5 Port HD Switch, and the YPrPb Cables frmo the Switch goto the ANalog Inputs on my Black Magic which is a Hardware High Def Recording PCI-e Card,

No where did I say WiFi.
