Went to the sales, picked up a VCR/DVD combo. Also bought a new toaster.
To cut a long story short, my TV signal now goes Cable -> VCR/DVD -> Old VCR -> TV and I don't yet have a full time VCR hooked up to the computer.
New TV on the shopping list. Sometime.
More concerning, while I was using the videocard to configure the VCR/DVD to a UHF frequency the Old VCR could tune to (no hope with the TV even though it has a UHF tuner [grumble]) I noted that a DVD played in it comes through to the computer no clearer than a video, or the best TV reception from my little aerial. That could be a cabling issue, or a software issue. It damn well better not be a TV-card issue!
Now that that extreme time-waste has happened, I need to take advantage of this sushine to do a little gardening.
