- I need advice on a tuner card
- Posted by bneals on March 27th, 2006
I built my PC and I want to use it to send video to a analog tv. I have a
Rosewill X800XL, but it doesn't have a CATV out. I am not looking to use my
PC as a PVR. I don't care if my the card doesn't capture tv. All I want it
to do is to push out video and audio that I can then stream to the back of a
television. It has to push it via coaxial cable, as that is what I ran
through my house. I want to do this really, really cheaply. Does anyone
know of a cheap solution to my problem. If it is more than $50, I will
simply buy a DVD player for the room. I was hoping to do it through my PC as
I can then push all of the content from my tv to other rooms in the house.
Any suggestions?

Most newer tuner cards don't have an "out" of any kind, they usually just
have inputs connectors. You normally send the output through your video card
(and then it would be S-Video, VGA, DVI, etc.). I know we used to have an
old All-In-Wonder PCI card at work in our conference room years ago and it
had dongles on the back that were both input and output of various types,
but I don't remember if it did a composite signal (like coax) as an output.

I think you will have to get a separate video to RF modulator card or
S-video to RF external box since I have never seen a graphics card with a
built in RF modulator.
Using google you will find lots of different makes and models available.
