| 120156 | 2003-02-11 06:42:00 | i've just been thinking about it. Does it really matter wot res. it captures? Because if the TV channel is only - say - 600x 400, it will only display it at this rate won't it??? |

But: talking about TV tuners, Fergie used words spelled like: no - did he mean Know wot - did he mean what veiw - did he mean view Cheers.. |

Yup -i did mean those words. i would use the spell check option but i'm only on dial up - and i don't have the time to wait around, i guess i could copy paste into Word - but it doesn't really matter does it? |

| 120160 | 2003-02-12 08:42:00 | stu140103 What version of PixelView do you have.......Pro or High Definition? | Muzz (1286) | ||
| 120161 | 2003-02-12 20:20:00 | Pixelview seems pretty good. Most are pretty much the same though. Although I think that there is really only 1 TV Viewer software out there - TView (9x / 2000) TView 2000 doesn't mean Windows 2000, just version 2000. I'm using it at fullscreen at 1600x1200 although thats the monitor resolution output and not the TV card output. You can adjust it to around 720x340 or something with some setups. Depending on Gfx card & monitor I think. Look for options like FM Tuner and / or Nicam sound. Makes it nicer to listen to. If you get cunning enough & mathematical enough, there are apps out there to watch Sky for free. Seen it done but haven't done it..... |
