yup it worked with the other splitter too but just so slow
and I also did mention changing the slot might of fixed an issue with the crash I did a little tweeking to the card itself this is my card and specs MyGica X5075 ATSC/NTSC/QAM/FM Hybrid PCI-E TV Tuner Card - MyGica.com
As you can see in the picture I circled the part I tweeked I had to use tweezers to squeeze that gap tighter because the part they give you to connect to the coaxial is all loose
As you can see it is like a pin that fits in there and the other side you screw on the coaxial so that too was an issue till I squeezed it tighter together
darn Tommy, you'd think if it was made for a coaxial cable, a coaxial cable would fit right. You did have a few problems didn't you.
Also, excuse my ignorance, but do you have the cable split to go to your computer and TV? Otherwise, why did you need a splitter?
Ok lol this is where it get's complicated There is only one main box in the living room DVR every other room has a direct line splitters all over garage kitchen all the rooms of the house now in our room I had to split the line for the tv into two so I can link it with my Cable modem now I needed to split again for the Tv tuner and Cable modem
The main Networking and all that I have in our room I have it done that way to keep people from tampering with it
But let me tell you The Cable company put a new splitter on the line in our room so obviously they use a unmarked 2.4 ghz splitter unknown to me till now
so t here you have it im split all over the place like a over cooked Hotdog
Out in my neck o' the woods Time Warner has gone to only "home runs" back to a larger amplified signal splitter. They feel it is that important as they had to pull all the previous cabling and hardware out and replace all requiring a half a day and who knows how much of a cost. I should have asked for an additional line to be pulled for the computer TV card but as I don't own the house and have a TV already in the office I didn't give it much weight. When asked the tech said any splitter will degrade the signal, hence why at the very least a high band width high quality splitter would be almost mandatory.
X2 on signal degradation when using passive splitters. Both of the ones pictured in this thread said -8.0 dB for each output. Amplified ones are available.
Just to update this post
I am now using Windows media center and it is Great !
Did some Tweeking to it as well and it runs like a champ
Nice to know, thanks. What about it do you like especially?
