    TV tuner on my PCTV TO GO WIRELESS

    Hi All,

    I have two questions.

    1. I just bought new PCTV TO GO Wireless through pinnacle website. I was surprised to see two coaxial cable pins one which says Attenna in and another says Antenna out. Now I am just wondering does this have built analog tuner. If so can I watch a different channel on PC and different on TV and also will this tuner work in India???

     2. Is there any other player other than PCTV TO go  player where I can play the network video? Actually I tried VLC with rtsp but keeps giving me errors...?

    Awaiting your response!

    1) That model is pre the current, and (was) better, being that you have an analog tuner built in. "Was better" is subject to analog turners becoming obsolete in the not too distance future in North America. It will (I think) act every bit as good as the current model without tuners.

     Perhaps summarized, ...you got a great deal, "while it lasts," (that being analog turners in North America).

     ...Bitman, please correct any inaccuracies (not spelling errors :-) of my comments.

    2) Apparently Hava's player works, but I haven't tried (see post on subject below).

    I think you're right. 

    I only have experience with mine tuning NTSC, naturally -- no idea what you have in India (B/PAL, maybe?)  So -- IF the tuner will tune PAL, then you may have something, at least for a while.

    One thing in the States -- *MOST* cable companies are going to carry analog NTSC until 2012, so my tuner will be good for a while yet here.

    Yep. I am very excited that it works in India but there is a problem when I scan the channels I see there are lot of channels detected but when view the channel there are only few channels available to view. Do you know why that happens? how do I get the other channels?

     Awaiting your response!!

    Thanks!

    No idea.  That sounds strange to me.  Are you sure they're actually "Detected" as being present, or can you simply see them during scan?

    I forget -- isn't there a way to edit the detected channel list when in Setup?
