Guys especially Billy, THANK YOU SO MUCH. My tuner worked!
I connected a rather short coaxial cable (
) from the "Out to TV" port into the tuner. Then i opened the WinTV 2000 application and went to Menu/Suite Manager/Sources/Analog scan. I got "Cbl 3" scanned so i clicked on it.
I clicked Close and within an instant i got live DirecTV video!
I tried recording it at first but the record function crashed. So i reopened WinTV and did it again and it worked! When i finished recording i noticed it saves automatically when i hit stop?
I opened WMM, edited the video and saved it to my computer. The down side is that the .mpg files are LARGE.
AND, will I need to click the "scan" button each time I connect the tuner to my receiver.
Once again THANK YOU EVERYONE! I'm so happy!!!
