Hi,
I hope someone can help or point me in the right direction with this query?
I have an old Sky digibox in my daughters bedroom, which is used just for free channels. I have just brought her her first ever computer for her birthday and as her room is small, went for an all-in one. The idea was to take her tv out to give to her younger sister and link the sky box, via the hybrid built in tv tuner, into the PC.
I have spent hours and hours on this, but cannot get it to work. I go through Windows Media Center on Windows 7 and have gone through trying to set up by analogue, satellite and cable, all to no avail. I have had an engineer out to replace the tv tuner and rang Sky, all no good.
All I am doing is running a single 'live' channel instead of through a tv, into the Pc instead - surely that is not impossible to do? My main concern now is, if it is due to the fact the digibox is so old (about 1998 - old Panasonic).
Can anyone give me any tips/advice on what I could try? Sky settings are for PAL - should I change it to RGB? What option should work via Media Center? Do I need to go, via a different connection (scart from tv into Y/R/W cable into PC - sorry, not a techie).
I've wasted a day off work for an engineer to turn up and now reinstalled the pc, back to factory settings, without success.
Any help would be much appreciated and get into my daughters good books again
Many Thanks
