I recently bought the Pinnacle PCTV for Mac HD Stick. Everything works GREAT. However, I am having some difficulty figuring a few things out. 

 

The reason I purchased this item was in order to record video game footage from my TV. (I have a Vizio 37" HDTV) I'm not sure if the type of TV will affect what I'm trying to achieve. I was on the apple forums asking about would be the best choice for a video capture card; someone on that forum pointed me in Pinnacles direction. I have realized recently that perhaps I have the wrong product to record video games with. However, I was wondering if there was a way I could still make this work? I've tried S-video cables with no luck, I get "No Signal." I am under the impression that S-video is the only way I will be able to do it (if I'm able to do it) because of the corresponding S-video cables that came with the HD stick. I would rather keep the HD stick if I can figure out how to record my video game footage, but I know for a fact that the Pinnacle Dazzle, and Dazzle Platinum is more along the lines of what I'm looking for. But If the HD stick works in the way I'm wanting to, I would be much happier.

 

Thanks for your time,

Never mind, I've figured it out. It works perfectly.

 

Thanks for all the help....... 

Care to share what you learned? And what was it exactly that you were trying to achieve? Moving this to a more appropriate section.

The only thing that I needed were S-Video/AV cables for PS3. Plug the AV cables into the corresponding inputs on your TV and insert the S-video into the S-video input. Change the output of the PS3 to S-video/AV and you're set. Now you are able to record video games, and live television. Exactly what I was trying to do.

Umm wait do i have to buy cables?
