| 51002 | 2002-05-27 05:32:00 | 1) INFORMATION & BACKGROUND 2) THE QUESTION 1) INFORMATION & BACKGROUND When at the Red Cross Booksale in Palmerston North yeterday, I found a copy of PC World from August 1996. And on the back cover of it was an advertisment for my flatmates old computer (PC Direct Discovery 545). One part of the advertisment got my attention. 'You've got a television... no room in your study for the TV and the computer? No Problem! This system has a built in TV Tuner for Full-screen viewing or mini-screen while you work (aerial not included).' Checking the computer revealed that yes, there is an aerial plug in the back. Unfortunatly, Windows 98 simply detects the card as a 'Cirrus Logic 5446 VGA Adapter'. 2) THE QUESTION Well, how do you get the TV Tuner card to work? The tuner card does work, becouse my flatmate has vauge memories of watching TV on her computer. Unfortunatly, she has no software or documentation for the computer anymore (it was a hand-me-down from her family - they don't have any disks or documentation either). Any help is appreciated as I have no idea at all. Thanks for any help, Bruno. |
