Okay.
You read right. I went to radio shack to ask the clerk for a cable that
would go from vcr antanne jack into my tv card. He told me that instead
I needed a cable to go from "video out" on my vcr to "svideo" on my tv
card ( hauge pauge ).
I tried your suggestion. I ran a line from "video out" on my vcr to
"line in" ( not yellow, no colors for any jack ) on my tv card.
Nothing happened when I scanned for channels with the wizard.
Nothing happened when I went to "Settings | Channels" and tried values
different then "television".
The VRC was playing on its channel 3.
Any ideas for what else I can try?
Thanks much in advance.
