Re: Looking for a TV Emulator for Windows7
 

If you want to watch TV on your computer, you will need to buy a TV card or USB stick.

The devices listed here are for developing applications using video capture. They generate a known signal in the same way a hardware capture device would. They cannot receive television as your computer will not have the hardware required.


If you want to receive TV on your computer, visit the various channels websites. Most of them carry live streams now.

Great! What have you used to do this - what software?

Re: Looking for a TV Emulator for Windows7
 

Hello

With Virtualbox...


But in the text they say

The driver simulates the front-end components of a PC/TV, including input selection, TvTuning, TvAudio control, and digital video streaming

So i think i can install the driver start my windows media center and then the TV Card driver should be in the List am i right?

And what elst does the Driver simulate?

Re: Looking for a TV Emulator for Windows7
 

No idea. Sorry. Why don't you read the specs to find out what it does - how are we suppose to know without looking as well?

Re: Looking for a TV Emulator for Windows7
 

Because i dont have more information..

But front end components are TV Screen i think


Is that right?

Maybe the software emulates a complete TV Screen;)

Re: Looking for a TV Emulator for Windows7
 

The problem with what you are asking is simple. Unless you have a TV card, your computer does not contain the hardware necessary to recieve and decode broadcast TV.

Now, as I said, most TV channels do have live streams on their sites now, but these often contain copyright protection stopping them being used outside their website. Thus stopping you using them with other software.

There *are* programs around that can break this protection, but discussion of this is banned on the forum.

tvvee - are you sure you're not just after a tv card / usb stick that's compatible with ubuntu instead of windows?

Re: Looking for a TV Emulator for Windows7
 

Yes

I just want to watch TV with my virtual Card

Re: Looking for a TV Emulator for Windows7
 

Would that be virtual TV

Re: Looking for a TV Emulator for Windows7
 

If all you want to do is watch TV on your ubuntu system why do you need a VIRTUAL as opposed to a physical card?

Re: Looking for a TV Emulator for Windows7
 

I wonder though where the ubuntu system came into all of this, especially with the original title

Re: Looking for a TV Emulator for Windows7
 

Hello

Re: Looking for a TV Emulator for Windows7
