and heres on of my male to male connector...Should I connect it?
No, that won't work. That video card has two monitor connections and an S-Video connection. Nowhere for cable TV outlet to be plugged in. Sorry. You will need a TV card for your setup to work (i.e. Hauppage).

Looks good but where is the PC in the drawing? What you are trying to do will work as long as your antenna has a cable connection.
Splice it from there, like your drawing, and use the three connections to supply up to three devices and it should work fine.
My only suggestion is that if you have a cable connection in your house (regular, wall outlet type) use that, attach the splicer and carry on as your picture indicates.
Have you purchased the card yet?

I have that same exact card on one of my PCs. Great card by the way. That TV Out is not a cable connection. It was intended to have the capability of hooking up a TV as a monitor.
This is a quote from a website that will explain that a lot more indepth along with some other things that may help you.
Note:TV-Out only means that there is a Video signal coming from this pin, that can be connected to your TV. This is an entirely different signal than the signal needed for the antenna connector on your TV!

Ye I have this comp in a seperate room to where the one in my spec is, so I can hardly remember, What I put in it, Yep It's a nice card (I use DVI with it) But i don't use this comp for gaming so i haven't overworked it yet :P
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
uniique1, It doesn't say the model number, lol I'm probably going to get one for a £20ish, then if that works I will invest in a better quality one £100+
Basically I want a simple WinTV one to start then I'll upgrade once I have everything else :P

UNI That splitter holes were two small for the coaxial cables (1.5m and 3m)
Could I just buy a Y splitter?
I just found out that splitter was for sharing sky around the home :P

A 2 way would work, yes. But you won't be able to supply the devices in your pic and the PC.

I can't tell by looking at the picture but as long as the specs say it will turn 1 cable connection into 2 (in so many words) it will work.

I'm not sure then. Backtrack your install...see if there is something you may have disabled in the process with the WinTV settings. Maybe you just accidentally pressed mute on your PC ;) You can go to the website and download drivers and even the install disc...Give that a try...see if there are any updates.

Hi Uniique1,
Hoping for a bit of advice if you wouldn't mind?
I have a Dell latitude cpi and was wondering if the Pinnacle PCTV USB adapter you mentioned in this thread would work for me?
I need to hook it up to my xbox, with the added possible advantage of recieving TV! Sounds almost too good to be true, is it?
Can you please help out?
Thanks.

lol, like the name man!!
Anyway, yes...it should work. What needs to be taken into consideration is your PC's performance capabilities. Speed, memory and sometime video card can be a factor. But it should work. Because it's hardware, most computer stores will let you return the adapter. You can always try it and hold on to the receipt just in case.

Thanks man,
I'm hoping to wipe everything on this peice of crap laptop as it is very tired and slow so hopefully it will do the job with little on it.
I have checked out the product you mentioned on ebay but there was no exact matches but lots of different versions? Can you help out here? Do you think it's maybe best to buy one from an authorised dealer?
