Re: video card with digital TV for 98?
Tim, as mentioned in a previous post, no cable here, just over the air
reception. I'm aware converter boxes should be available, but, still
hoping someone made (makes) a video card with digital TV and drivers for
Windows (I'm one of those who does not like much of this change <g>).
If anyone knows of a card, or even a good USB digital TV adapter (with
Win98 drivers) PLEASE let me know!
BTW, for those with built-in TV, I found a plugin for WinAMP some time
ago which allows you to play your TV through WinAMP (love it!). You
might enjoy it too.
