Watching TV through VIVO?? (1 Viewer)

[TheClaus]

I have mediaportal setup and it serves as my media player right now. Currently it is setup as the following.

PC VGA Out to HDTV VGA port.

I am wanting to watch live tv(not record just watch) and was wondering if I could use VIVO with mediaportal to watch TV signal coming in from the VIVO. I know I won't be able to change channels but to watch it through Mediaportal would be great.

Thanks

Claus

I assume a VIVO is something like a TIVO?

If so you need a BDA compliant capture card that can take the output from "VIVO" and capture it in TV Server.

In fact with a bit more work you can probably also change channels too, but getting an IR Blaster and blasting from MP (using IR Server Suite plugin).

By the time you bought a capture card though, you might as well buy a TV card and use MP TV Server, unless I'm missing something spectacularly good about VIVO.
