Yo, wassup!!! I have this piece of crap software Inter Video Home theater, it detects 350 channels(most of em are crap), has no option for a manual scan(cuz i dont want all teh channels) and i can set the channels to whatever number i want to. So??..anybody know of any other softwa
OK I was in the same situation as you were few months back. Assuming that you are running winduhs ... the best TV tuner software is K!TV. Its an opensource project. Has an .exe installer and works like a charm And the best part is - u name any TV tuner hardware - K!TV supports it. The gui and the controls are really very light and very very quick. You can record video, watch multiple channels (as many as you wish) on the same screen and lots more (if u additionally download plugins) The installer is just 4.11mb Follow the link:- https://www.kastortv.org/index.php?page=download&langue=eng
well i downloaded that software... and i used it to search here in the UK for channels... using following setting... Video Standard - PAL-I Freq. Format - Antenna/Cable Source - Video Tuner i did cable first and it found 2 channels...then antenna found 1 but the quality is reaaallllyyyyy bad.... so any help... wat should the settings be?..... cauz i only found THREE channels!! any help?
Hey @rockin , here is what I can suggest to diagnose the problem with K!TV scanning 3 channels (wid reeeeallly bad reception):- 1. Initially I had also found that 2-3 channels were scanned and the reception was very bad. But it turned out that the cable was not connected well at the other end !!! Have u tried any other s/w or with a TV to make sure that the cable is ok?? 2. Are you sure the source is showing ur TV tuner card ? Eg : as in the link: https://www.kastortv.org/help/index.php?page=source&langue=eng If it does not show, explicitly set from: Menu > Setup > Capture Source 3. While installation, it gives u the option to install with remote control /without. No logic but I think it works fine with the remote control option selected (even if u dont have the h/w or use it). If u did not select remote control uninstall and install with remote option! hope that helps!
lolz .... @rockin maybe it iz ... but dennis ought to have written *k!tv* - which is a software for tv tuner card.
@dennis: hey i tried the ktv, it was nice..but, how do i record with this thing. again, thnx for the replies Hey Im Glad to be of help! To record I cant give u the exact steps now (im on Linux) but just right click on the screen -> and click on zoom out -- here you'll get the option to start recording and stop. Thats it.
