Video in - x850XT PE VIVO?

bought one of these cards from lowestonweb for £329.

It was sorta half retail/half OEM - brown box, no cd's or manual atall but it had cables.

I want to connect my cable set-top box to the video-in on the card.

What software would I use to watch stuff on it, and which cables do I need to use... - I assume itd be the mini-din->composite (the cable is acctually mini-din->2x composite [yellow RCA] + 2 mini din)

So want to use this to watch tv and record tv... I assume tehres software which supports it..

hmm.. anyway I though these cards were vivo.. but ive just realised the included cables might be for tv output :(

But that doesnt explain the rage theater chip on the back of the card..

this may help?

Thanks, that was very helpfull :D

It seems that one of hte cables with it functions as both composite AND svideo - input AND output...

Now to find some software to use it with :)

edit: I tryed with virtual dub...notthebest program for this.. but it worked...- BUT the quality was poo. Dunno whats wrong but it really did look poo...

Use the S-Video rather than composite cables. Better pic.

I remember a freeware prog called DScaler which I used on an older TV card to get a good picture. Have a look here.

My tv box only has scart out.. and I only have ascart->composite adaptor.. However the picture is ok'ish with my old tv card... the problem is with the video in/software :(
