Ok I got the tv video to work. When I watch tv the sound works, but it doesn't record it. I'm guessing I need to come out of the tuner card and go into my main sound card, is this correct? Also when I record tv it doesn't display the picture anymore. Is this normal? Thanks for the help.

Well my video card isn't in the list of supported cards, so I assume thats the root of all my problems. here are my specs:
1.1 Ghz Athlon
256 MB RAM
Windows XP pro
Pixelview BT878 tuner card
SB live sound card.
I got the sound stuf figured out. Everything works as it should with the software that came with the card. It plays, records everything without a hitch. Let me know if this helps. Thanks

Being a software card, yes chances are there will be a special header that goes from the tv tuner to the soundcard.
But also it will depend what version you are using of MP. The older versions, software card support wasnt great so it might just not work and thats as good as itll get.
In the newer releases, software cards was removed completely but it seems they started adding it again (proper implementation this time) and so its not general but card specific. You could probably get it working, as there is a therad on the main page how to get your software card supported but there is a big BUT, you require a 2.8Ghz processor or higher so a youll need a fairly large upgrade to accomadate this. You may aswell just buy a
hardware card and keep the rest of the system you have, itll be cheaper.
There basically isnt any debate on the requirements because otherwise you system wont be fast enough to run the software card and the MP interface at the sametime and a lot of things will go wrong.
