Little trouble with a TV Card

[clipper]

Hi all

Does anybody know how to allow RF input on the Hauppague HVR 1100 TV Card? I can't find it for the life of me. I have tried googling it to no avail. I reeeaaally need sky on my PC.

Thanks very much for any response.

Hey I found a guide and forum here: http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/site/support/support_hybrid.html
Usually I help more specifically, but this is a good start

I did a search on the forum there, but I couldn't find anything that I thought was of use, might have missed something but I don't think so. Any advice you could offer?

Thanks alot =)

Wow that guide says 52Meg
I bet it will have info on setting it up correctly
Otherwise wait for any others replies, there's a lot of hardware specialists here (I'm just not one)

Ok I woke up this morning and installed the .exe on that link you linked, just to check it out. I now have 6 channels, 1 2 3 4 5 and Sky. But I have no picture, just a white screen, the sounds crystal, any idea's? I can't find anything about RF Input to do with my newly installed WinTV32, so I'm guessing there is no way to turn it on or it is already on.

aha! I've fixed the white screen, I had to mess about with the brightness/contrast/saturation settings to get the picture to show up!

if this is a laptop card, be forwarned, the built in amps are weak. You may need an RF amplifier.
