I've just attached a TV with On-Screen-Display to my VCR, so I can see which channels exist. Then I noted the frequencies where the all the channels are and plugged the VCR's tuner output in the WinTV's tuner. I tried all these frequences (+/- small variances) but found not one channel except the VCR's own output channel at 544.75 Mhz. The TV set found the VCR's output channel exactly at the same frequency. What is the difference between the signals passed through by the VCR and the VCR's own output signal? Maybe the signal strength? I've tried 3 different TV Sets and they can all find the other channels too. I have 3 FreeBSD machines running here but there is no place for a Win95 installation to check out the WinTV's own driver and software :-( > > This probably isn't it, but it came to mind. > > As a temporary fix, use your VCR's tuner and plug its video/audio out into > the video/audio in jacks of the WinTV. This works too but is not really a fix for me because I can tune in the VCR's output channel with the WinTVs tuner already. My problem is that I can't tune in the other channels from the net which the VCR passes through or directly. ...however, I think I can live with that because now I can switch channels with my VCR remote control :-) > > Randall Thanks anyway!
