Tuner cards and VGA boxes.
« on: March 19, 2003, 07:13:21 AM »
Has anyone experimented with using pc tv tuner cards to display your Amiga's PAL/NTSC signals on your pc's VGA monitor?

I'm interested in trying this. Right now I have a VGA Box by Innovation, which provides a VGA compatable signal at best, from RCA composite video input. It works with pal and ntsc signals. The picture quality is horrible.  Would a tuner card have a better picture? Would it work in full screen?
It would be cool to have my amiga running in one window with terminal program and then have pc terminal program sending the amiga files. =)  Hmm..  But I would want full screen and something that could handle pal and ntsc signals. I don't really need all the other amiga screenmodes.


Any suggestions? (keep in mind I'm not looking for a flickerfixer/scandoubler.. not neccasarily, i think it might be cheaper to get an ATI TV Wonder at best buy for my needs.

Yep.. Ok.
The output from my VGA box is bad bad bad...
The explanation for which I found here
I guess the same thing is going on with those tv tuner cards.. basically..

Back to ebay for a scandoubler!
