redcap Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Hi Has anyone tried this new and revolutionary system. I have downloaded a system of this sort and yes you do get pictures of a kind but not that good. It maybe that the computer I have "Dell" is not upto the task or my system is not adequate. Any advice would be appreciated as I see that there is a simmilar system advertised on these pages at a pricey $67.00. Molar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Coeur de Lion Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I have tv on my computer for the grand cost of about 30 quid.I bought a tv card off ebay, installed it and have connected my skybox and French tv satellite box to it via scart to composite cables. It's quite a fun setup, as there are two outputs from the back of the receiver boxes, so one goes to my tv via my surround sound system, the other via a scart switch box to the tv card and sound card on my pc.From my pc, I have run two vga cables, one to my plasma tv and the other to a widescreen computer monitor in the kitchen so again we can watch tv there.My pc is also my video recorder and has a dedicated hard drive to record tv too.As my pc's sole use is for media purposes only, I have downloaded a program called Meedio that collects all my movies, music, pictures together and also controls my tv card program. As the tv card came with a remote control unit, the whole thing can be controlled from the comfort of my armchair.The other beauty is that my wife and I can watch different things on the two monitors at the same time.The only downside to it is that I need 6 remote controls to control the whole set up (dvd player, surround sound, tv, pc and the two satellite boxes).

Mimi Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 If you are a customer of Neuf ADSL, you can have french TV on your computer at no extra cost. There are about 20 channels in all including France 2, 3, 4 and 5 although there is not TF1 or M6 (no loss) . You just need to download the logicel from the Neuf website. Handy for me to watch the news etc. without turning my motorised sat dish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
