Hi Gordon.
I thought that it would be an easy thing to have another TV attached to my
Digibox and that would be fine, but what I'd really like is to attach my
computer to the digibox, in order to record audio described movies.
You said that many Digbox's have two RF outputs, and that I could take a
single cable from this to my computer.
To do this would I need another card fitted, or could I have something like
the SoundBlaster External card?
I'd rather not put my computer into the shop Gordon, but if there was such
a thing as an external Video Grabber card that you could recommend, that
would be easier and more transferable to another computer.
Best wishes.
Andy
