Eurovox through Vista Media Center? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Hi guys, just a quick question here, just had a bright idea thinking it would be cool if I could have my eurovox connected upto my PC, so I could watch it through the media center.

At the moment, I've got my TV aerial going into the back of my Eurovox and an aerial from the "TV VCR" socket going into a TV Tuner on the PC. I can pick up all my 'normal' freeview channels completely fine, but just can't seem to pick up anything off the Eurovox.

Is it even possible to connect it via this method? Is it possible at all? Or am I just being a plonker? Lol.

Any help at all is appreciated people.

Cheers,

Sal

Erm I think it will probably be because the Eurovox is cable digital signals (dvb-c?) and the tv tuner probably only takes the normal digital tv signals (dvb-t).

Well that was the case when I tried running my eurovox through media center on vista

If hiroki is correct then you will have to invest in a DVB-C PCI tuner and some software. There is a section under the cable heading called Cable TV on PC or something similiar.
Ive never personally tried it. Due to no having a well equipped computer.
Hope this helps.
