    hi, i know nothing about nothing on tv cards. So i just bought a pixelview nvidia 6600LE graphics card aaand i heard it came with a tv card. Anyway i thought that this would mean i could watch tv on my computer, is this correct? i'm not sure how to do it, do i have to hook in an aerial to my computer or something?
    plz help.

    thx

    How did you hear that it was a TV card? Could you post a link to the actual product?

    I suspect that your card only has TV out, meaning that you can see an output from the computer on a TV screen.

    oh is that what it means. But i got it with this cd that allows me to install a capture driver and a program called amcap. Is there any video card that comes conjoined with a tv card?

    I got the XFX 6600le card.
    It has VIVO which means you can hook up a dvd player or game console or whhatever uses svideo output, If I get a VIVO cable.

    It doesn't have a tv tuner though...

    yeah i think it does have a tv out, but then why did i get this amcap capture program? Although i have to say that when i open it it comes up with an error saying "sorry, you have no video capture hardware"

    Because they use the same CD for all models.
