Quick question..

I've a feeling i already know the answer but would just like a confirmation.

Is there any way to use my PCI TV Card with a standard USB2.0 port? Any sort of adapter / converter available?

I've a feeling there's not but a confirmation to confirm it would be useful.

Regards,

basquille

No, there is not. However, there are USB capture/tuner devices.

Cheers for the quick reply, Harold.

Yeah.. i realised there are USB Tuner Cards but i got this one cheap and will be just using it for a school project. And can't really use my laptop (which i always have on me) as it's no PCI slots.

Anyways.. thanks again for the prompt reply.

Regards,

basquille

Actually, there are boxes to do this, but they're not cheap... http://www.ibpmt.com/bus_expansion_e/PCI_bus_expansion_pricelist.shtm These use the pcmcia slot on the laptop

Ouch... not cheap is right!

I'll try and cope with using the PCI TV Card for now.

Thanks for the help again.
